Warning to all Guinea Pig owners!!!

The last few days we have had a huge number of very upset families coming to us for support over losing their little guinea pig friends to the heat. Guinea pigs in the wild live underground where it is much cooler. In this hot weather, even in the shade it can reach temperatures well over what the average little pig can tolerate. Try to keep your guinea pig cool by moving him inside of the heat. Small cages suitable for this cause are available in store. Other ways include giving him so frozen water bottles to lie next to, freezing his vegetables ( corn, carrot, apples etc.) and wiping him down with a cool, damp cloth. Keep your guinea pigs cool in this aussie summer heat!!
