Guinea pigs and Christmas trees

[Charadrii]

Hello, we are shortly to bring our Christmas tree in. This year we are having a real tree, and I was wondering if it was safe to be near the guinea pigs cage, if it is fenced off so they can't get to the branches? Will the smell be a problem to them, as I know they can be sensitive to strong smells? Thank you

Good question - I’d like to know too as I’m thinking of a real tree this year.
Our artificial one is looking a bit tatty now.
