You should not keep your guinea pig outside in the winter! They're natural climate is not cold and they cannot handle the cold. Your pig probably has a respiratory infection and she needs to see a vet right away. Please, please keep your guinea pig inside, even if it is just in your warm basement. They cannot handle winter weather. put the f%$# guinea pig inside!

Can guinea pigs sleep outside?
Guinea pigs can stay "outside" as long as they have a hutch of cage that is raised off the ground and may provide shelter for them if it starts to rain, ect. If you are choosing to have a pet guinea pig, It is best to keep them inside if you have the time to clean out their cage 2-3 times a week. If your looking for a low maintence pet, you could always keep them outside. This will affect its behaviour, and I reacently had a guinea pig that died of fright from a snake in our yard. Now I keep all my guinea pigs inside.

Do guinea pigs shed in the summer?
well, I've heard that they actually shed their coat, but I'm not sure if they're supposed to do that DURING the winter, or after. One of mine has lost her whole entire backside's worth of hair, but i think that's mainly just because she's got cancer. :'( my guinea pig is actually shedding a lot right now during the winter. I do not think that there is anything to bad with it. It may be a problem with diet but nothing to bad.
