I don't use them incredibly often but when I have guests over I like to use wax warmers. Are regular ones safe to use in the same room as guinea pigs? If not what scents/air fresheners are safe for guinea pigs?

Since I've never used them, I have no personal experience to contribute. But, unless the scent is absolutely overpowering and the room has poor ventilation, I can't imagine it causing a problem.

I'm not a fan of anything scented that's in an oil-based carrier. There's some evidence that those aromatics are harmful in the long term, and I'm not willing to risk it either for me or for my pets.

I have found natural pet safe wax melts on Chewy, do you think those would be fine?
Here's a link to one - (broken link removed)
