The location in your home for your new pet guinea pig to live often comes down to the choice of an indoor cage/ enclosure or an outdoor hutch / run. Many pet stores have both varieties of homes for sale that are appropriate and adequately sized. Even though, similar to rabbits, guinea pigs have been predominantly kept in an outdoor hutch it is more difficult to fully appreciate your guinea's as a companion and a family member unless they live with the owner in their home; likewise the animal won't get to know the owner. A guinea pig that is kept mostly outside will lead a separate life and not enjoy the antics of being part of the indoor family.
There are several factors in favor of keeping the pet indoors; the first is that they generally have longer lives; these is partly due to being sheltered away from bad weather conditions and are safe from any predators that may roam in the garden at night, such as foxes. Outdoor guinea's can often be prone to illness, mostly because outdoor pets' health is more difficult to monitor. Signs of sickness and illness can be subtle at first, and because outdoor pets spend less time with their owners, it can be numerous days before an illness is noticed. In the case of a rapidly progressive illness, such a delay could cost a guinea pig his/her life.
The decision to keep your pet indoors is a favorable one for both the owner and the happiness of the pet, outdoor guinea's will find it easy to acclimate to a happy life indoors.
