Dogs and guinea pigs.

[vicky_notts]

I've only 1 back garden so des this mean with my dogs m pigs won't be able to have their un on the grass as my dogs use it? I clear up after the dogs as soon as they come inside but what about the wee?

My garden for the piggies has cats in it all the time but i've never had problems with them being on the grass and i guess thats similar ? (:

Not much you can do about the wee if you can't see where it is. I have a dog and there are heaps of birds hanging around here too splatting all over the place. All I can do is make sure their outdoor playpen is over a patch of lawn that looks clean. I do give the piggies a worming treatment every 3 months as a preventative measure just in case they pick up any nasties from the lawn.

I don't see a problem with urine, just don't let the dogs near your guinea pigs.

Thanks. The dogs have a certain part of the lawn they use mutely so I'll just not use that. The dogs will have a cage between them at all times :0)

What I do is place the run in a spot that the dog has not piddled on, leave it there till the next move and periodically throw buckets of water on the spot she has piddled on if we have not had any rain for a while to wash the grass off. I also put water on the spot where the guinea pigs run has been after I move it as of course they will have piddled there too and they wont want to eat where they have wee'd so if I manage to move the run back in the space of a week I just think its nice for them to have fresh grass again.

Just try to wash the spot the dog has been - both wee and poo, a watering can will suffice, after you have seen the dog go (and picked up), this should keep your grass nicer for them to eat.
