[SW <3 Guineas]

I don't really see a cat chewing it's way into a metal enclosure personally.. I have it padlocked at the door and I delibrately picked the strongest cage for this reason. They have lots of hidey holes, boxes and hay to hide in and always popcorn around the cage.

I actually had my guinea pigs before I started renting, I had to move out to go to University. I beleive in the 'environment' section on the front page is says "what is comfortable for you is comfortable for your pigs" (in terms of temperature). I keep my pigs under a porch so it never gets too hot, they are out of the sun and my backyard rarely has a breeze because it has high fences and a roof (somewhat like an 'outdoor room'). I understand the risks you are mentioning but as Aertyn mentioned it is very different from America to Australia. My pigs are use to the weather (inside and outside) being around the 17-30 Degree mark, we rarely use heating or cooling so they are comfortable with the normal fluctuations of heat inside and outside the house (maybe not so much outside because I only keep them out from 9am - 4pm if weather permits).

I merely wanted to know if a c&c cage was as secure as my other outdoor cage and now I know it is not thus I will not use one outside. Thank you for that.
