Outside cages- Before you all have ago there is nothing wrong with guinea pigs living outdoors! I have do my guinea pigs outdoor all their live and I have horses too go I am outdoors all day so they get so much attention!
However you could bring them in for winter or just cover the cage with blankets and put loads an loads of hay in like I do
Hay- This must be provided 24/7 as eating and as bedding especially if you guinea pigs are outdoors also they burrow in it to keep warm so put in bed area and all around the day area too.
Because you will need so much hay I buy the bedding from somewhere like ASDA s stuff at like £2.30 and the eating hair from a pet shop for like £5
Water- get a water bottle cover to keep their water from freezing and water needs to be changed twice a day in winter as it gets so cold and they drink more. A good idea is to put some warm water into the cold water so it's luke warm for them to drink
Keep them up to date on veg- as you cant feed them the grass really so veg that hasnt been left out so they rant freezing on there tummy
More winter wornings soon !
