You should not keep the cage outside anyway. I suggest getting a new cage and keeping it inside. It may be cold for your guinea pig outside. If you didn't keep the cage outside earwigs would not have got to it.
Guinea pigs do not dig when they are pregnant. Digging behavior in guinea pigs usually indicates a sign of nesting or exploring their environment. Pregnant guinea pigs may exhibit nesting behavior by creating a comfortable space with bedding materials.
Guinea pigs may exhibit nesting behavior by gathering bedding materials and creating a comfortable space. They may also become more restless or vocal leading up to birth. Some guinea pigs may show a decrease in appetite or become more protective of their nesting area.
Female guinea pigs shred paper as part of their natural nesting behavior to create a cozy and secure spot for their babies or themselves. They may be preparing a nest for themselves or signaling that they are ready to give birth. It's a sign that they are comfortable and wanting to create a safe space.
Well they probably wouldn't "walk" very well not like a dog or anything but you can get harnesses and leashes and you could put them on it and let them wander around a grassy area (instead of using an enclosure) but you need to be careful that they don't eat something that is poisonous and there is always the chance that they could get fleas or mites.
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.
Nesting boxes are used so guinea pigs have a place to sleep, have a place to have babies, and have a place to sleep in. If you are wondering whether to get a nesting box, i suggest you do get one.
Straw is the best. Straw is the best.
Usually around $10-20
guinea pigs have very limited lifespans outside as they are susceptible to respiratory infections in the cold and DO NOT handle heat well. i would suggest getting your guinea pigs inside and if you cannot please surrender them to an animal shelter that can provide them the life they deserve. recent research has proven that even rabbits (who are much heartier than guinea pigs) should NOT be kept outside.

Guinea PIGS LIKE TO GET OFF THE SHAVINGS OCCASIONALLY ..... I MADE SEVERAL SMALL "BEDS" OUT OF SOCKS AND OLD PILLOW STUFFING. BOTH MY MALE AND FEMALE SEEM TO ENJOY THESE, WE HAVEN'T HAD OUR BABIES YET, BUT THE BEDS ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A GOOD NESTING AREA.
In winter, your guinea pig should be indoors. Ask someone to help you search for it.
Your guinea pig will be totally fine
the Republic of Guinea is an independent country in Africa that has no states or territories outside of its borders.
