I was wondering what is the lowest temps Guinea pigs could handle? I am from Wisconsin so it gets down to 0C by mid October during the nights. The low this year was -34C, we had a few days where it was jumping around -26C. Anyways, I do not think Guinea pigs would have even a slight chance in this weather. At what temps would I have to bring them in and how could I increase their cold tolerance, maybe by adding more than one pig?
I was just throwing the idea of getting a few of them this spring and the first thing that came to mind was cold tolerance.
 
Guinea pigs should always be kept at 65-75 degrees farenheit. If you adopted guinea pigs, you should probably have them live inside during winter and outside during spring/warmer months. Good luck if you decide to get them!
 
If you can, I would keep them inside year round. Wisconsin weather is a little too harsh for piggies. I live in Kentucky where it gets way too hot and way too cold for them so I keep them inside and when the weather is nice I put them out in a run for some grass time.
