This video was very important! Anyone who lives in a colder climate should never keep piggies outside! If they have to, they need to buy a shed to keep the hutch in, and insulate it as well! As you've said, dampness and cold can kill a piggy! Also, putting a safe heater, like ones that are specially made for animal enclosures, is great. Thanks for a great video!
Thank you Susan :) I think a lot of people don't realise how dangerous the cold weather is to guinea pigs so hopefully this will help people understand the importance of keeping them warm and also bringing them indoors when it gets too cold for them. As you say, safe heaters are also a great idea!
It depends on the hutch size. Most hutches are too small but not all. And keeping guinea pigs in a large hutch in the right weather providing they are well cared for is absolutely fine.
Thanks Monique.My piggies live indoors all year round in our annexe/studio room. I did buy them a heat pad the same as yours last winter for the very cold nights although I heat their room for them when it's colder so they're always cosy :-) x
I have a shed with a window and a three layer cage for mine wich they go in at winter time in summer, spring they have a cage outside and a rabbit run which thry love!
You TOTALLY deserve 10,000,000,000 subscribers! Love your channel so much and I am subscribed! I am trying to convince my parents to let me have some piggies, so I am researching lots to make sure I am an expert!
Last night I gave my guinea pigs a hot water bottle because it got super cold. I’m going to get a heat pad though because they are much safer. Thank you so much btw because my guinea pigs live in a shed and I’m not sure if I gets heaps of light and my brother is a mechanic so the fumes might hurt my pigs! My dad and I are making a super long cage for them soon. Tysm!
Danke. In Deutschland ist es leider sehr verbreitet Meerschweinchen draußen zu halten. Dieses Thema macht mich seit Jahren so wütend. Ich habe meine Jungs immer drin gehalten im warmen Wohnzimmer bei mir. Aber meine Landsleute sind manchmal sehr stur und uneinsichtig.
Thank you and it's great you're doing your research before getting your guinea pigs. Some people have a shed especially for their guinea pigs as this can provide them with more protection from the weather :)
If it feels too cold for you then it will most likely feel too cold for the piggies so that's a good guide to go by. The same goes for the heat as too hot is really bad too.
I would never have my piggies outside! I find that so cruel! Mine are free range inside fully socialized & liter box trained in a piggie fortified home.
Absolutely! It really depends on where you are in the world because some places don't get very cold or very hot which makes it much safer. But we do always recommend housing piggies indoors if you can wherever you live because they become a part of the family and are more likely to be well cared for.
Would you recommend using an electric heating pad? I want to get one because they are bigger and softer than the small, disk heating pad, but I also want to make sure it’s a safe idea.
An electric heating pad poses a danger because if they do find a way to nibble it they could be harmed by the electrical current. I would definitely advise against this and use the microwaveable heatpads instead.

I always keep my piggies inside because they seem most comfortable that way :)
Indoors you can keep an eye on them and they like the temperature so it's ideal :)
Same
@@GuineaPiggles yes u are a guinea pig expert 💖🐹
I love watching your videos there great and I know what to expect when I get my Guinea pigs
Thank you Fia. It's always good to hear that the information we put in our videos has helped :)

A hutch is not an option. They are too, too small. Not enough floor space.

Thank you so much my heat went out so I put them in my blanket and they look fine right now but this video help me a lot, thank you

Glad you found it useful Juliet :)
My dad built a huge guinea pig shed which includeds lighting and two heaters
also really helpful advice!
I have a shed with a window and a three layer cage for mine wich they go in at winter time in summer, spring they have a cage outside and a rabbit run which thry love!
Thanks for this my piggies are in all the time but just got a heat pad for night times.👍
That's a great idea as it can be a bit chilly even indoors at certain times of the year :)
Thanks, this is really helpful for my guinea pig

I keep my piggy’s in the basement, and when it’s too cold I give them a heater, they love it! ❤️
hello guinea piggles! i was wondering how you keep air ventilation with a cover on the huch?
It depends on the cover you're using but you would need some airflow to prevent condensation.

Anyone know if a 100w-150w ceramic Bulb will do fine on a Midwestern Guinea pig cage? Would the cage be able to handle the heat?
Very informative video! I want guinea pigs but they'd have to be outdoors full time.. so I'm doing research!
Thank you and it's great you're doing your research before getting your guinea pigs. Some people have a shed especially for their guinea pigs as this can provide them with more protection from the weather :)
My guinea pig’s name is Becca. Isn’t that a beautiful name 🐹🥰
What happens if woodlice go into the cage
When should I put them inside?
If it feels too cold for you then it will most likely feel too cold for the piggies so that's a good guide to go by. The same goes for the heat as too hot is really bad too.
@@GuineaPiggles Thank you! :)

I live in Canada and hutches just get way too cold for guinea pigs to live in so mine live inside!!

@@GuineaPiggles Understood, I’m definitely glad I asked before I bought one. Thank you for your advice!! :)
Anyone got advice? I have 9 outdoor and 2 indoor guinea pigs 0-0
Good advice to keep them warm. Just make sure not to warm this also can be harmful .
Never put your Guinea pigs into a hutch. They are much too small no matter how big. They need floor space at least 48-50 inches in length. No Hutch!
Many hutches are too small but not not all. The one in this video is 57 inches long and 22 inches deep.
Piggies are fine in hutches, mine is 6ft x 2 ft, which is bigger than a 2x4 C&C.
Guinea pigs are from Peru where it is around 17 degrees centigrade all year round. Don't keep Guinea pigs outside, bring them indoors in winter.
