My outdoor pet mice almost froze. How to keep them safe from cold?

Question

I just have a quick question about my pet mice. I've been keeping them outside since the summer time and they've seemed to be doing fine. They were growing winter coats and getting more plump. But just this morning I went outside to find one nearly frozen. Luckily I came in time and was able to bring her back to life and tonight they're all okay. I've put some old clothes in their cage and extra bedding but will this be enough? Or would they be safer being at a shelter? Theyre not allowed inside.

i think they definitely need more protection from cold, winds and other extreme winter conditions, you should build or buy a proper housing for them if you want to keep them outside, depending on the temperatures in your area it might also require external heating.
