i m going to buy 2 guinea pigs but i dont know if i should put them straight in the bkgarden or not as it is winter and its cold??

No, they need to be acclimatised, they have been living indoors in the pet shop. You will need a hutch for them, keep it indoors or in a shed until the spring.

Not outside, poor little beggars.

... or, put off buying them until late spring when the weather is a lot warmer and you will be able to give them a hutch in the garden.

Would you want to be made to live out in the cold,when you'd been happy and fat in the warm?
I didn't think so.
Make sure you get all the advice you need before you buy them.

..and buy them a proper house with good warm bedding, too!
