Housing Indoors: Indoor housing offers a cool, protected and sheltered environment. It has the benefit of using electrical appliances, human monitoring is closer to hand, pests and predators are not an issue as it offers a hidden, secure area. While we understand it's not always possible for some families, we do recommend housing your pets indoors wherever possible! 

Blankets/Doonas: Cardboard and cage covers all provide further shelter from the chill of the winter air. Even if housed indoors the air temperature can become quite cool.

Fleece Hideys: Guinea pigs love to burrow to keep warm during winter. A fantastic way to ensure your guinea pig has a warm place to snuggle is a piggy pouch, happy sack or similar item. Check out our great hidey range here!

Hay: Dry, fresh grass hay is an excellent form of insulation in your guinea pigs cage, while providing constant snacking opportunities! Stock up on hay here.

Heaters: Heaters can be used to keep and warm a room for your guinea pig. Please ensure any heater is not directly close to the cage but simply in the room.

Fleece bedding: The right bedding makes all the difference! Our Ozzy Cage Fleece liners and our Ozzy Vet Bed range are both excellent choices for keeping your pet dry, comfortable and cosy.
