In Central Scotland?
In an Eglu (well insulated)?
With lots of bedding?
Internet searches seem to yield rather polar opposite opinions: "Are you crazy? Of course they cannot and will turn into little furry popsicles, you insane person" to "They come from the Andes and are used to below freezing night times, so should be ok, and I have had piggies in my garden for 200 years and they are fine".
So, any experiences yourselves?
We don't have any (yet) but are thinking about it. They cannot live inside due to DH's allergies. I'd rather not get any than freeze them to death...
Also, any ideas on a good book or other reading on guineas? I grew up with rabbits, but have no experience with guineas.
TIA.
