A lot of petstores sell item that claim to be safe
for guinea pigs or advertise for guinea pigs
so that's what todays topic is all about.
Let's start with cages
The minimum cage size for 1-2
guinea pigs is 8 sqft or 2ft X 3ft.
Most petsore bought cages
that say "for guinea pigs"
is very overpriced and
far too small.
Bedding!
There are 2 main types of
unsafe bedding
1. Pine
2.Ceder
Theese beddings can cause
respitory probablems,
changes in the liver and
long term exposure.
Treats!
Yogurt drops are very enhealthy
and very unnecessary as they contain
sugars and calcium.
Salt licks are also very unnecessary
and unhealthy as guinea pigs
are already getting enough sodium
from their pellets and certain
vegetables.
