Okay..here is one for the group...
Anyone travel with a guinea pig?
I haven't the heart to separate my 13yo son from his sweet guinea pig. He takes immaculate care of her - has opened my eyes wide open to the sweet nature of guineas - and we are to be on the road over the summer for about 4 weeks.
Most of our trip is about getting from point A to point B, visiting for a few days, then off again. I figure we can keep a cage in the trailer and another in the car. We will get a little ferret or fancy dog carrier and slip the guide in with us whenever we go inside...as long as the darling doesn't decide to squeak as she can be somewhat verbal at times.
When we are on location, the trailer will be hooked up and a/c on. Is that considered a no-no to leave a/c on when you are gone? Figure ppl must do it for their pets, right?
On the road, if we stop to see something and get slip her in, we may have to leave her in trailer, but at least we can open windows and put a fan on her. My son knows guineas well and says they are quite tolerable to temperature changes.
This will be one well travelled guinea. We plan to take pictures of her on the dashboard whenever. Hit a new state or city limits...Lol! My son wanted a picture of her at Mt. Rushmore., but I told him for those excursions, guinea would be better off back in the trailer...lol!
Any thoughts, ideas?
