| Re: Common Misconceptions about Guinea Pigs and their Care
Guinea pigs smell:
False:
Guinea pigs do not have a musk gland. A musk gland is what causes odour in rodents; without this gland it is impossible for a guinea pig to have body odour.
Therefore guinea pigs cannot and will not smell at all, unless you do not clean their bedding. A responsible owner should never let their pets cage smell, if you clean it out regularly your guinea pig will not have any body odour. |
