Junior Guinea Pig
Hi
We live in the uk and have outdoor piggies in a hutch. They are usually outside year round even in winter (very common in uk). However this last couple of weeks the temperature has been dropping to around -4c at night and -2c during the day and later in the week will drop to -6. So we made the decision to bring them into the house temporarily. They are in an indoor cage in our livingroom and living their best lives . However this cannot be a long term thing for us and next week when temp goes up to 10c we need to get them back out. I’m just worried about the shock of going from 20c indoors back outside. Will the shock harm them? How are other piggy owners in uk coping this week? We’ve had snow where we are and I honestly don’t know if I should have brought them in or not but I was worried the cold would kill them.
