| Re: Introducing dog to pigs?
To be honest, I wouldn't let the dog anywhere near the guinea pigs. My friend had two dogs and a rabbit. They lived together for years in peace. The dogs would cuddle up to the rabbit, and it was very sweet. One day the dogs both attacked the rabbit and killed it with no warning.
I'd do a search on this forum for other people's experiences with this issue and see if you can find any good tips on what to do. But when it comes down to it, as crazywiggy said, Dogs are predators. Guinea pigs are prey. It's a very romantic notion that the dog will learn to accept the pigs; it would be great if it did. But the lives of the pigs are potentially at risk. This isn't to say that every dog will kill every cavy, but there is always a chance. |
