Hi!
Piggies with red eyes are much more ligh sensitive. Place a towel over the top of the cage and make sure that your piggies are carefully protected and have something warm and cosy to retire to that is away from the any cold ground.
Guinea pigs do not cope well with sudden jumps in temperature and temperature extremes; it makes them susceptible to respiratory and urinary tract infections. if you are having cold bare feet after five minutes outside, your piggies will be cold, too!
