New to Guinea Pigs

[janetangel]

I had another reply and lost it. oh well. Thank you for the parakeet info. Rest assured they are unlikely to be out at the same time or same room as the piggies. We will also have the cage for the piggies inclosed due to cats in the house too. My son's room where the birds are and the piggies will be is off limits to the rest of the animals and his big brother (as he says), but I am aware it is not always possible to keep animals separated. I have always lived with a multi animal environment from chickens, other birds, cats, dogs, horses, goats etc. Okay the goats, chickens and horses do not come in the house, but they are/were around here and there. When we had the farm we even had a pet squirrel we rescued. He ended up joining the wild with the other squirrels after rehab. He was not too tame, but fun.
