Aww. That's too bad. It is a good reason to both not spray chemicals outside and to not give children pets.

My mom had guinea pigs for a while because she took them after someone thought they'd be a good Day-Care pet.

My mom worked at a Day-Care, she worked with the older children, but in the floors below there was a spot for younger children, one of the employees though it would be good for them to have a "classroom" pet. They were in had little children in it and the cage they had was the standard tiny-cage and it was knocked down there several times. They didn't know the sex of them and thought that one was pregnant, which she fortunately wasn't. They were both females.

So my mom took them and put them in a cage she had from when she was little and had a rabbit who lived in there.

She put two female guinea pigs and later a rabbit named Hazel together. The cage was 4times bigger than the tiny-cage they had. She fed them pellets and water for quite a few years. They lived pretty long, and after several years, I think one died from the humidity fluctuations caused by the laundry and dryer. Then the other died a couple of years later after developing a cyst which increased in size and my mom was reluctant to take her to a vet.

I found out about C&C cages while we had those but my parents didn't want to spend the money and I didn't have the money.

I got guinea pigs a couple years ago and they are both males. I have a 2x4 grid cage and an upper deck. I feed them fresh veggies each day and give them oxbow western timothy hay and cavy cuisine pellets. I use fleece as a bedding.

As much as I like guinea pigs, I doubt I'll take care of anymore seeing as how I have less and less time, but I expect a few more years with these pigs because when I got them one was 8 months and the other was a few weeks old. I have had them for about 2 years now.
