hi everyone
when is the best time to move my piggie back outside?
would he be ok to start going out during the day? into his hutch not run.
many thanks

I think it is too cold to have your piggy out now. I would wait at least until April.

I agree you need to wait to the weather is warmer i would wait till april/may and only have him out in the day if its warm enough

i wouldnt purley because the day temps are nice but its the drop overnight. i'd be more inclined to have them out during the day but in at night until may

I'm hardening mine off! They're in at night in a heating free room and out during the day in a hutch in my garage. I'll stop bringing them back in at night in a few days and obviously keep an eye on the temperature for the next few weeks. They seem ok with this, you can often tell by their behaviour, if they're feeling a bit chilly they'll hide away and huddle but mine are out exploring and running about so I think they're ok

I dont put mine out untill the night temp is at least 10degrees for a few days.I go out & cut them some grass most days as a treat, so now everytime I go ito the garden to take the bins out or to put washing on the line there is a chorus of wheeking from the guineas & they don't give up untill they've received thier treat!

mine are not out yet, purely as I need to get a hutch cover. i had the girlies nicely set up in a big hutch inside a plastic walk in greenhouse, shelter from rain and wind. Such a rotten winter the greenhouse got torn, luckily the girls were indoors...
