Unsafe "Run-Around Balls"

[BetsysMomma]

Whenever I "Google" Guinea Pig Accessories Petco always seems to pop up with several examples of items that are not safe for our little friends. I contacted them to suggest taking guinea pigs down from the list of pets their "Run-Around Ball" was safe for. I also mentioned that the piggy they have pictured in their start-up home was too big for the small cage and maybe they should clearly address that it is specifically for babies until a larger area is constructed. I know we all know better, but first time parents may not be aware and trust stores like Petco to educate them about the needs of their pets. Well, in no time at all I received a response and I thought maybe you all would like to read it as well. Maybe if more e-mails are sent in by guinea pig owners they will learn to be less liberal with their "research?"
