My twin and I just got two new guinea pigs. We thought we did all the research necessary on what they need and how they would react around the dogs. The thing we missed though is that the dog's barking can stress them to death. My dog met the guineas and wants nothing more than to sniff her butt and the pig just wants to chew his collar (I would never leave them unsupervised, and I don't plan to have them together much). But my dogs are Barkers. They bark at everything. I have my guineas in a closed off room, but you can still hear the barking. Would the pigs just get used to the outside noise, or would they still be stressed? Would getting more hiding spots help? If the noise is a problem, does anyone have tips about how to make the room quieter?
