My friend and her boyfriend are coming up at the weekend. Problem is, they have recently rescued a dog and we agreed they could bring the dog with them. Problem is, I am now worried about my own pets. We have 2 hamsters in wire cages and 2 gerbils in a glass tank, then of course, there's the 2 guinea pigs. The rodents will have to go upstairs in our bedroom but I don't know what to do about the pigs. The outhouse door is open all day to allow air etc and has 2 bolts on the hutch. I am however, concerned whats going to happen when the dog goes outside. Will he try and get in to the hutch etc? Apparently he is a small dog but I'm still worried. I don't want my pets to get scared or injured. OH says that the dog can stay downstairs at night but what if he sneaks upstairs to the hamsters and gerbils? When we go to sleep, the hamsters and gerbils will be going in to the bathroom. :-\ What are the chances of the dog trying to hurt my pigs as well
