I live in a basement apartment, and I have my two boys' 2 x 5 cage in my bedroom. My room is cool in the summer, so I've never had concerns about overheating. However, as the temperatures drop, I'm worried about my boys getting too cold. Last night was probably close to 60 degrees (maybe slightly less) in my room, which has me worried about them getting too cold. So far, here's what I've been doing for the boys.
- At night, I cover about 1/3- 1/4 of the cage with a thin-ish blanket/throw.
- The boys have a few fleece items, which they prefer to sleep on top of instead of cuddling inside. Their toy of choice lately has been the two Guinea Dad cardboard boxes, which they sleep inside.
Do you think these measures are enough, or should I do more to keep my boys warm? I know guinea pigs are sensitive to heat, so I don't want to overheat them, but I don't want them to be too cold either.
