Piggy outdoor play time!

[ssp_h]

I got my guinea pigs at the end of September, they get floor time almost everyday for at least 30 mins to an hour but they've never been outside (I'd only let them out in a secure run of course) so I don't know whether to wait until March/April to let them go outside as we don't have much grass at the moment because my rabbits either dug it up or eaten all of it !! However, if the ground isn't soggy I'm considering letting them outside for the first time but it's getting as cold as 8/9 degrees outside where I live, would this be any harm to them? Even if I just let them out for 20 mins or so?

Thanks! x

I wouldn't start outside play time with the temperatures that cold, if it were me. I'd wait until things warmed up in the spring.
