Whichever, but make sure that you get them young so you can choose whether they live indoors or outdoors.

It depends entirely upon where you live. Guinea pigs kept as pets in Australia rarely live inside, unless they are show or breeding animals. There are brilliant hutches that can be bought for outdoors, which give the guinea pig plenty of protection from the heat in summer and the cold in winter.

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.

What if your guinea pigs live in a cage outside. Now you find there are two RATS that come to the cage at night looking for food. Willl they hurt your piggies. What can you do to stop them?

How long can a guinea pig live inside for?

There average lifespan i s 5 to 7 years. The above does not address the question. A guinea pig can live inside its entire life, as long as its cage and surroundings are kept clean. If you live in a cold area, it is better to keep your guinea pig inside as they do not tolerate cold very well. A guinea pig is happier living outside in warm temperate regions of the world. Guinea-pigs are grazing animals, which is why they particularly enjoy grazing on the grass outside.

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.
