Hi I’m a newbie on here.
We have bought 2 guinea pig baby boys from a fabulous pet shop. They are a surprise for our daughter. The pet shop owner (who also bred the guinea pigs) has rung me and said that other babies in the cage have ring worm but our babies are not showing it. She has offered our money back, different guinea pigs or we can wait for 2 weeks while she treats and quarantines them. My first thought was to wait for their quarantine to finish and take them home as I have already bonded with them as they are so cute! The pet shop owner said that ring worm once treated does not return but it is highly infectious. What do other members think? I do want them
For our daughter but am worried about the risk of re- infection after they have been treated. They are gorgeous and it is a highly reputable pet shop. Thanks for any advice
