Hi,
My guinea pig Rose has started to occasionally sneeze. I have already checked the Guinea Lynx website for symptoms of URI's, but My piggie has nothing listed there wrong with her. Also, she seems to only sneeze when she is in her cage. Does this mean I need to clean the cage (wash the fleece) more often? I vacuum the cage often, and my two girls are on fleece. I only just started using fleece about a week ago and will be washing it tomorrow. I've read in other posts that people clean their cages when they start to smell.. but I'm not sure what smell I'm supposed to be looking for.. what does a dirty cage that needs cleaning smell like? Does a normal, clean cage have a smell? I'm worried about Rose, and I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I just heard my other guinea pig, Mocha, just sneeze. Could it be from their "litter" box under their hay rack? They sometimes pee in it (more often than not)..
Thanks!
