Hello!
So I am doing research on guinea pigs, our family hopes to add one in a week or two depending on how long it takes to get a cage ordered and arrive and find the right pair for us. I came across somewhere that flea, tick, and anti-fungals are recommended. Now I'll admit I need to research anti-fungals as I've never heard of those but fleas and ticks I'm familiar with after my short stint in the lower US. But here in Alaska, at least my area we don't have fleas, ticks, or heartworm.... I don't use the preventative up here for my other fur kids so I'm hoping that despite this being a UK forum, someone might be familiar with extreme northern climates and parasites?
