Poor guinea pigs are outside!

I feel guilty. Our gps are indoor in winter and outdoor in summer. Autumn and spring they are out in the day and in at night. So at the weekend we decided it was time to stay out all the time - beautiful weather.
Now the rain has arrived Angry Will I confuse them completely if they come back in? I know they like routines.

My pigs are outside winter and summer - they are hardier than people think. As long as they have somewhere warm and dry to go to they'll be fine.

So long as they have a warm dry shelter, they'll be fine. Even though it's raining, it's not been too cold outside. If you do want to bring them in, it won't confuse them unduly. Having said that, mine are confused if I move their foodbowl a few inchesConfused

My pig out too

I was going to bring them in but then the rain stopped. They seem happy enough - just me that feels bad!

As long as they have some where to get out of the rain they will be fine.

I've given in. They're back inside!

It has been very wet this week. They're probably grateful to be indoors, although they'd never let on.

My rodenty ones have two windows that we can remove (leaving a mesh lined re-inforced barred window space) .
One has a thick clear plastic screen that is pegged down to give them a breeze but protected, so that's ok to leave open.

Guess who has to wander down the garden to put the other window back in when the rain starts. Oh, yes, that'll be me (because DDs hair will frizz in humidity Wink )
