previously indoor guinea pig outdoor?

hi There

I've got 2 adorable piggies, Black&Grey, I've got them for third year and adore them
My baby son was born 2 months ago, so you can imagine how much time I've got for my piggies...almost nothing

Also we moved house and now we live in a lot smaller than before, so my piggies had to move in a smaller cage and are now in the kitchen...I don't think they are very happy

I was wondering (and my partner's pushing me) to buy a hutch and move them outdoor, obviously not now but spring time, I'm sure they would be much happier there and would have more space and runway....what do you think about it?

I was also thinking to give them up for adoption because as much as I love them I don't think they are happy now

They would not be happier outdoors at all. They are used to being inside in the warmth. It does sound like you may be better off rehoming them as you have not got as much time. I really hope you can find them a good home.

I think you need to decide whether ou want to keep them or not. If you do choose to put them outside please wait till the weather is warmer. I have 4 kids and it does get easier, maybe if you give them up now you may regret it when baby is older

Oh no...
I think you need to work out if you want to keep them or let them go to a new home first.... And take your time on the decision... Dont rush in to anything you may regret....
If you decide to keep them then there's nothing wrong with keeping them outside...
If you get a hutch the best time of the year to move them out would be late spring... And have a hutch snuggler and some heat pads for the winter... Or if possible move them in to a shed it garage that has natural light...
Majority of my rescue animals are outside in hutches or in the shed...

Hope you get it sorted...
And I'd love to see some photo of your lovelies...
