Indoor temperature?

[lizzie_71]

During the summer, my boars live outside. In the autumn I bring them inside and they live in the utility room. Usually I don't use the radiator in the utility room as we aren't in there much and it doesn't seem worth heating it, and also I didn't think the piggies would like a very warm room.

But yesterday in the snowy weather, it was actually quite cold in that room and I noticed that the piggies looked a little bit annoyed. They were all fluffed up and gave me a very resentful glare, and I wondered if they were cold.

I am not sure whether it is OK for them to live in a room with the radiator on, or whether they are better unheated. What do you think?

Thanks for that. For some reason I had it in my head that the piggies preferred it a bit cooler than us humans do. I have put the radiator on in there but it's a small radiator and it is still quite cold in there. Better than being outside in the snow though I guess!
