Hello everyone, I'm currently sick with the stomach flu (which I presume to be due to norovirus but could, of course, another virus). Is it possible to transmit it to my guinea pigs? I live alone with them and can't get someone else to care for them, since nobody is particularly keen on getting noro from me. I've been using plastic gloves and bleaching all the common contact areas, like the fridge door etc, but only after I started getting symptoms, so I'm concerned there's a risk they would fall ill since I handled their food just a few hours before everything started going south very quickly.
TYIA! :)
