Hello,
Me and my boyfriend are thinking about getting two guinea pigs.
I've looked at a couple of websites that have said it is okay to keep guinea pigs outside so long as they have shelter and plenty of bedding. We planned on getting a good sized hutch with a big run area for them. But then coming on here, I see most of you bring them indoors or put them in the shed during the winter months. Problem we have is, we don't have any space in our tiny house to keep guinea pigs and we don't have a shed!
Is it simply not feasible to keep guinea pigs outside all through the winter? I wouldn't want to keep them out there if they are freezing cold and miserable. Is maybe a certain breed okay for the outdoors?
Any help and advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks very much
Emma
