Can guinea pigs live in the cold?

Answer 1

Not a good idea. Their native habitat is a warm climate in South America.

Not strictly true, yes they come from South America but they live in the Andean Highlands where the air is thin and temperatures can be extremely cold, they do not live in the rainforest. Heat is more of a problem for a Guinea Pig than cold.

Guinea Pigs can be kept outside all year as long as they have plenty of hay etc, they deal very well with cold.

Answer 2

it is never good to make your guinea pig live outside. in summer they get too hot and die and in winter they get too cold and die . if you have an outdoor guinea pig you need to take it inside before it's to late!

Answer 3

They are native to the Andes mountains and survive there pretty well. They have long fur and burrow in the ground.

Answer 4

no. its gets far too cold and they will die in about 1 week.

Answer 5

it can if you have a shelter for it. it may also need some sort of heat also. i would ask someone at a pet store for more info. i also think it would just be best to keep it in your home.

Answer 6

NO! unless your garage is heated or at least room temperature... Guinea pigs should be kept indoors.

Answer 7

NO they will die if it is to cold
