Ugh, I had a fantastic write up with sources and explinations and everything, and after I went to firefox to copy a source tapatalk just had a little fart and erased all my typings. Joy.
Anywho, I wouldn't do it. Mainly because we don't know what it could do to guinea pigs even though this is UVA light we're talking about here (the weakest UV light) and it's in very small amounts. However research does prove UVA light can cause melanoma, and while it's UVB light that causes snowblindness-like effects, both types with long-term exposure can cause eye problems. But at the same time UVB is a fantastic source of vitamin D3 which is vital to calcium metabolism and is known to be very beneficial to many species of reptile, yet these are guinea pigs and I don't know how much D3 they need and if they do, it's probably in their pellets anyway.
But really my only confusion is none of these sources describe amounts and for how long...it's just, yes this light is badtimes and does this. You go out into the sun and bam, you got skin cancer and cateracts. But really, it's like saying "oh yea well you're more likely to be struck by lighting than you are to get bit by a shark" well...not really! Someone in Kansas who's never seen the ocean in their life will probably never get bitten by a shark, just as someone who's never been outside in their lifetime is most likely not going to be struck down by lightning.
You know what I mean by that? It's like yes, staring at the sun 5 hours a day, every day, forever is going to destroy your eyes but that's for a very long time under a very powerful source of UV light. But what about decorational blacklights that are very tiny and only on for half of the day, huh? Well, I have no idea, because someone over at UV research HQ decided not to disclose the amounts of their testings.
But nevertheless I wouldn't risk it. I mostly say this because one, we don't know the amount's affects on the body, only what it CAN cause. We also don't know how guinea pigs recieve UV light, as all of this is for people. So honestly, I wouldn't risk it, even though it is a nifty idea. I'm also glad you at least asked first, which is wonderful.
