Don't leave your piggies outside when its cold
Do keep the room's temperature as close to 65-75F (18-24C)

Do keep your piggies' cage dry, humidity can cause molding and that can be bad for their respiratory condition

Do feed them veggies such as green or red lettuce, paprika, cucumber it will provide enough nutrients for a healthy diet
