Indoor cage or outdoor hutch

[Dawn - Admin]

I personally think that a Guinea Pig does better in an indoor cage not only can it can have more contact, then it will then become less timid and will become more used to it's owner and also the temperature will be more constant.

However it is a matter of choice and as long as the hutch is protected from drafts and frost it is ok to have an outside hutch.

If two or more Guinea Pigs are housed together they will be able to huddle together to keep themselves warmer during the winter months but I do recommend that they are moved to a shed or outhouse in the cooler months of the year.

We don't let our guineas go to homes that don't have a shed or outhouse for the winter.
I prefer the indoor cages too, they are much better for taming down nervous guineas.

I think that is very wise Karen, I think piggies should where ever possible live indoors and like you say it calms nervous piggies down better when they are around us more
