if you look on ebay you can find covers that go on the water bottles that keep them from getting cold, just put in guinea pig and keep looking down list, hope this is of some help

Make sure your lone piggy has lots of hay she can hide in - it will keep her body heat around her just like a duvet would.
As Toni said, the thermal covers for waterbottles are not too expensive.

Hi
I was thinking of buying a bottle cover but at the moment I have put a couple of old socks over the bottle and so far it seems to be doing the trick.
With regards to keeping your piggy warm over the winter, I have two pigs in an outdoor hutch and I have a hutch cover which i bought from Pets at home but its a scratch and newton cover and you can also buy it from their website. I put lots of hay in at night for them to snuggle up to.
I also have a snugglesafe heat pad (about £18) which you put in the microwave and I put that in their hutch on really cold nights
