I'am thinking about getting more guinea pigs, but I can't keep them in my bedroom with my young 3 month boy guinea pigs. My question is can I keep my new guinea pigs in my living room?
 
Yea, if anything its better for them, away from drafts, and getting to know the sounds of t.v, your vioices etc etc. Mine were out tonight grazing whilst we had a party going on, they like it for some reason.
 
Yes, ours are in the living room. They get accustomed to everyday noises.
 
Mine live in the living room where the refrigerator is close by in the kitchen. They love the sound of refrigerator door open and close and go mad. It makes feeding easier and cleaning a breeze. By having them in the center of the house makes it easier to look after them.
 
I think it's lovely having them in the living room. It means your around them a lot and I think that makes the bonds stronger and you see a lot more of there brilliant characters!
 
I love having mine in the dining room (open to the living room) free-roaming at weekends. They can’t stay all the time due to OH’s allergies and a lack of space for a proper cage but it’s lovely having them around

The front half of our large lounge is actually my piggy room with about 30 piggies in it. :D

Lots of piggies live in the living room and it is certainly healthier than to keep them in a bedroom!

PS: If you have close friends or family that regularly visit with their dogs, please make sure that any cage is safe with a lid and that no coughing dogs ever enter the room. Bordetellosis ('kennel cough' is fatal for guinea pigs; that also includes the 3 days after vaccination when dogs shed the bug).
