Just that, really. Obviously not if it's one of those pouring-down-with-no-respite kind of days, but would you leave yours out if the weather was kind of sunny-showery?
We're having real April shower type weather where we are at the moment, and I have been leaving our guineas out in their run unless it starts seriously pouring. Which means they've been left out during a few shorter showers when the weather has subsequently brightened up again....But does this sound OK? I know that guineas don't like the cold and damp but our boars really benefit from at least 3/4 hours outdoor run time daily and the short rain showers don't seem to bother them at all. They have waterproof hidey boxes, half the run is covered with a waterproof cover so they have plenty of shelter. And the outside temperature is pretty warm. Should also add that our garden is blessed with very good draining soil and our lawn dries out incredibly quickly after a rainshower, so no waterlogged or soggy ground....
So, d'you think I'm okay to keep doing as I've been doing? Their coats are never even damp when I go to bring them in, their paws feel warm, and they seem perfectly happy...
