They should be kept above 50 degrees and below 100 degrees. They get cold like humans do and also can suffer if it is too hot. It's best if the room temperature for a guinea pig is between 69-78 degrees.

What should you use to stop earwigs getting in and nesting in your guinea pig's outside cage which will not harm him?

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.

You need to keep any males out of the same cage that a pregnant female is in. You can keep other females with the pregnant one. If you think you may have a problem with the pregnant one, you can cage her by herself.

Guinea pigs generally like their cage as it provides them with a safe and secure space to retreat to. However, it's important for the cage to be spacious enough to allow for exercise and enrichment activities. Regular cleaning and cage maintenance are also necessary to ensure their well-being.


How often do you need to move a guinea pigs cage?

while you can keep them out for a loooong time as long as they have food and water. but beware lol if you are holding them then they will pee on you usually if held for more then a half hour tops (at least my guinea pig lol). i almost always hold her with a towel because of this reason. without food or water i would say that you shouldn't keep them out for more then a couple hours (and yes if they are grazing grass counts as food and you can keep them out for at least up to 3 hours in this case). I'm not an expert so i would be careful. and remember if it is hot you should not leave your guinea pig outside unless it has a cool shaded place to go if it wants to and you should still not leave it out for more then half hour i would say if it is hot.

Guinea pig and I keep it in my garage with a cover over it's cage will that keep a draft out?

If the cage has wire walls it should stay inside. The reason why you can't just cover up the wire walls is that, even if the cage is spot cleaned daily, the gases from the urine and droppings will build up if the cage is not ventilated and will make the Guinea Pig sick. The cage will need ventilation, and car fumes may get into the cage from the cars in a garage (Which is also bad for your piggy) if there are openings in the cage. I don't recommend keeping it in the garage whether it has wire walls or not, and I personally think it would be best to keep it inside. I hope this answers your question.
