morning all! me again! can only apologise for the amount i post in this group, if its getting too much please let me know! i just want whats best for my babies!
so i know 15 degrees is the minimum temperature a guinea should be in, so what should i do in the day when the temperature is below 15? i’ve got a thermal cover which covers the hutch bit and downstairs back end of the run, this obviously has little flappy doors that can be zipped down to make sure it hugs the top of the hutch, duvet goes on the bottom half of the run from about 8pm when it starts getting cold and dark, so i’ve still got the front bit of the run uncovered. i obviously don’t want them in the dark all day, but i also don’t want them to be cold! i’ve read a plastic sheeting can be put over them but i’m worried about them being able to breathe? what temperature should i be worried at in the day, is it anything below 15 or is there a bit of leway? for example, today, the temperature ranges from 11 degrees - 14 (up till 8pm) should i maybe just keep the shed door shut so they don’t get cold or will they be okay? thanks!
