Guinea pigs outside during the winter!

[JM18]

Can anyone tell me how to ensure my guinea pigs will stay warm outside during the winter?

I have started putting more hay in their hutch, and they also have a hutch hugger, but is there anything else i can do to make it warmer for them?

Thanks!

Hi there, Theres a brilliant invetions called a snuggle safe heat pad. This is a round gell filled pad, that you pop in the microwave, then when its done you pop it in a fleece cover and into the piggies hutch. This is like a little piggy radiator, it stays warm for hours and you can reuse it over and over and over.

Another alternative is moving them into a heated shed or garage. (or unheated)

I think i've seen them snuggle safe heat pads in Pets at Home, i think i'll have to invest in one!

You can get them much much cheaper on VetUK.
