Junior Guinea Pig
My piggies are outdoor and now the nights are starting to get colder we want to know the best ways to keep them warm. They're in the Bluebell XL hutch from Pets at Home and we have the thermal hutch cover. What's the best bedding to use inside the hutch so they can keep warm? They have loads of hides and carrot cottages etc which we're stuffing with hay right now- is this the best way or is there something better? Also does anyone know of any heat pads that do not require a microwave as we don't have one (will buy if we do need it though). We do have an indoor cage for emergencies or if the temperature gets extreme either way but ideally don't want to have to swap them around different environments much as they're coming up to teenage (they're boars). Plus, under our tenancy we're meant to keep them outside. Although the landlord has been very understanding when we've had to bring them in for emergencies. Any help appreciated as these are my first piggies since childhood and we know a lot more about piggie welfare since then.
