Essential oils (aromatherapy) and Guinea pigs

[Kimicub]

Hiya, dont know if I posted this in the right section so apologies if I haven't.
Just a quick question recently gotten into aromatherapy(I use a diffuser) and was wondering whether there were any essential oils that are harmful to guinea pigs.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn’t use anything citronella or eucalyptus based. I would stick to natural aromas such as citrus or lavender, but either way they shouldn’t really be used in the same environment as piggies are prone to respiratory problems.

I wouldn't use any essential oils in the same room as your guinea pigs if I were you

There is a brilliant book called 'The fragrant pharmacy which goes in to some details about oils and pets.

Ooo thank you. Will keep the aromatherapy in the bedroom to be safe.
