Hi all,

So this is the first summer we'll be having in our new house - and I think we've got fleas. Me and my sister were hanging out in the yard and she's now got all of these small red bumps. I so far don't seem to be particularly itchy or have bumps, but I was wondering if my guinea pigs could get them? I haven't taken them out since then, because I don't want to give them anything. Do fleas have any diseases that they might potentially give them? And how do you tell if your guinea pigs are infected? Can they even get fleas? And what precautions should be taken? My internet researches have been mixed, so I would like to get some information here.

Thanks
