guinea pigs are very sensitive to temperature change and while they cannot stand heat they can handle some cold. i would not place them in an environment outside or unheated as any temperature below what you can tolerate is most likely going to have the same effect on them. If you wouldn't want to live in it, they shouldn't have to either.
