Junior Guinea Pig
Hi so I have my guinea pigs both boys (age approx 4.5_5.5 and 2yrs) on fleece in my home. Get on well it and the have hay pile etc and I spot clean (and change peee pads) everyday. And wash weekly.
I go on holiday in oct for 3 weeks but with travel days and when i drop them off/pick them up, my mother in law will have them for nearly 4 weeks. She has looked after them before and is happy to spit clean etc. But I'm worried about her washing them. I clean the machine before I wash them to remove any left over conditioner and wash the machine after before I wash our clothes etc. I feel bad asking this of her and would suggest her going to mine once a week to wash in my machine but she lives 40 mins away.
So I use cardboard bedding in their hay tray. Could I just while they are at hers instead of fleece use cardboard bedding all over? Or will it be too hard kn theor little feet? Or will they spend all their time eating it?
I know if I ask her to wash the machine or use ours she will. I just feel bad for asking too much and trying to think of easier options for her.
