Sloveladypowe, what if you simply built a mini barn/garden shed with a window for the guinea pigs. A/C or a fan for the hot days, and heating in there for the winter.

I know a friend who had a rabbit outside in a hutch and a coyote came a chewed apart the wires no problem. That coyote got rabbit for diner that night. )-:

I'm against putting them totally outside, but if you had them in a garden shed that you used only for guinea pigs - not lawn mower or so - fumes... then it should be OK.
Have a run outside for the day when you are outside with them to supervise and it'll be ok that way.

Dangers come at night and any other time you aren't there.

I understand that you can't keep them inside, but I think there are still other solutions...
