Gingergnome
Junior Guinea Pig
Hi,
My son was given two guinea pigs by his grandparents late last year. I'm slightly allergic to the guinea pigs so although I'm fine feeding/cleaning etc I can't handle them without wheezing.
One of the guinea pigs is long haired and we're really struggling with her. She won't let anyone touch her so grooming her is a total nightmare. My husband manages to groom her but if any of the children even put their hands near her she totally freaks out.
My husband has suggested getting rid of her but I feel it'd be so mean especially to her "sister" who, although more timid, will happily sit with my lad who's really attached to her.
Any advice?
