Guinea Pig ears....more sensitive than ours?

[deeandnick]

Just a quick question...

Our fire alarm is very, very, very loud. It hurts my ears when it goes off! Its electric so we cant just take the battery out, and its heat sensitive so even when I'm not burning everything it still goes off now and again. It lasts for around a min.

Can this damage our little gp's ears and hurt them?

It will hurt your piggies' ears, especially when they are in the same room - however, all your lives will depend on the betteries working!

In my last place I oculd just take the battery out, then put it back a few mins later and it stop the bloomin thing going off, but the alarm I have now is electric so no battery and ear splitting noise until IT decides it wants to go off....in every room on the house!

As long as there is no lasting damage that anyone knows of

i remember reading somewhere, i think in the guinea piglopedia book, that their hearing is so sensitive that you aren't meant to keep piggies near electrical devices, tv's, computer's etc as they can hear the high pitched background noise that we can't xx
