I'm thinking about adopting a pair of piggies, but I first need to make sure that I can give them a good home. My main concern right now is where to put the cage, because we have two dogs and I'm worried they might disturb the fragile little piggies. Please note that my dogs are very gentle- we used to have cockatiels who would nibble on one of the dog's whiskers, and he'd just lay there. But anyway, if we put the cage downstairs where most of the family activity is, will it startle and possibly harm the guineas any time there's a loud noise, such as the dogs barking when somebody knocks on the door? Would it be better to put them upstairs, where they will be a bit further from the noise, but less included in the family's daily activities? Even upstairs the dogs barking is easily heard, so is this just a terrible idea? I also have a toddler who can be quite loud. Basically, I need to know, is noise a big problem for piggies?
Any insight on this would be appreciated!
