I live in upstate NY where the winters get quite
cold also, but I'm not sure if they get at cold as
Minnesota. I got a premaid 8X10 barn delivered for my pygmys, and they are quite happy, and so am I. They have a nice layer of hay bedding on the floor. Just make sure that you have good ventilation. As for the water, I don't have electricity in the barn, so I bring them a bucket of warm water a couple of times a day-those rubber ones work great-you can stomp on them to get the ice out. These methods seem to work fine for me. Good luck.
