Health monitoring during heatwave

[johnguinies]

Hello everyone, I feel that my guinea pigs became extremely slow and lost their energy since the beginning of the heatwave (8-9 days ago). Do you suggest visiting a vet or is it normal? Thanks

It would depend on whether you have concerns for their health, including whether they are maintaining their weight each time you weigh them etc

If you are worried then do always see a vet.
