    Genitals Guinea pig and herpes?

    As far as i knew herpes does not spread to animals from humans. I know cats have a species specific herpes desease they can get but i have never heard of it for any other animal.

    How to educate people of the care of gpigs?

    Thats a good idea i thought about changing it after she asked that. I just thought that people had common sense and would know, but i have to remember not everyone is like me and does lots of research on pets before they get them.

    Turtles Need help with turtle

    I would think if you wash the rocks well outside rocks should be fine. As far as the UV light goes i know they are very important so unless your sure your turtle will be getting enough sunlight then i would get one. Not sure how much they are in your country in the U.S. they arent too expensive.

    Turtles Need help with turtle
