         Guinea pigs are VERY sensitive to temperature, especially the 
heat. You should NEVER leave your guinea pigs outside!!! If you do take 
them out, they must have a safe enclosure with shade, a place to hide, a 
water bottle or two, and you must attend them every single second. People 
often lose pigs to predators, neighborhood dogs, or the heat when they are 
left outside by themselves, as you have just discovered.

         I have to suggest that before you get "new" pigs, you research 
their care thoroughly first?  That way you will be better prepared and your 
actions will not result in another tragedy of this type. www.guinealynx.com 
and www.cavyspirit.com are good places to start your research.
