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 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.
Guinea pigs are quite the ready freddy animal. They are born with all their teeth, eyes open and ready to run. If their mother lives outside the newborn babies will be fine outside. As long as it is not too cold or too hot.
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!
Probobly. But please don't try it, you're reading the answer from a well educated cavy owner. if you do not know, a cavy is the scientific term for guinea pigs. Getting a guinea pig high off of drugs can kill them.
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
if your guinea pig is socked help it dry with a towle and take it inside if it is outside.
the Republic of Guinea is an independent country in Africa that has no states or territories outside of its borders.
Guinea pigs usually don't nest. Until you are a very experienced breeder and know exactly what to look for, most guinea pigs have their babies and you find out about it later. Even with experience some are very good at hiding the signs of impending birth from their owners.
Flowers and leaves are poisonous to guinea pigs but they can eat grass and dirt. Hope this helps!
