Guinea Pigs - I think DH is being mean, he thinks I am.

[IAmReallyFabNow]

My 2 piggies have been inside for about a month now due to snow, cold and the grass being wet. I don't want to put them back in their outside hutch and he does as he says they are not getting any exercise in their indoor cage. They can't go on the grass yet so would only be able to run around in their hutch. Who is right? You decide .

GP aren't as hardy as rabbits & can't usually take being outside in the harsh weather.

Keep them in, and create a 'run' for them where they will be safe, they don't need a lot of free time, so can just come out when you can watch them!

I honestly think it's safer for them to be inside. We've had down to -18 here this winter, and we also have a lot of cats and foxes around.

Ours have a cage in the living room, a large homemade one, and when the weather warms up they go out on the grass in their run when I'm home to keep an eye on them.

In winter they come out on to our hallway floor, it's long and enclosed, so they can get a good run, lots of popcorning then so they don't seem to feel deprived!

They're absolutely members of the family, as are the rabbits, so I would rather have them in here where we're with them, rather than shutting them outside.
