Hi everyone,
I need some advise! I had guinea pigs growing up (altho they were kept outdoors ina shed) and I am now considering having 2 as indoor pets in my flat. I have been offered the 2 most beautiful rex babies which I have totally fallen in love with, BUT!
I live in a block of 8 studio flats, and have particularly moaney old man neighbours. The walls are like cardboard - I'm worried my pigs would make too much noise both with their squeeling & with their hammering away at water bottles. My flat is also a studio, so I sleep in my living room - does anyone else have this sort of set up & can advise if the noise would be ok?
Also, my boyfriend is massively allergic to cats, and budgies. Do you think it is likely he would be allergic to the guinea dander?! I've tried looking this up & just get alot of different answers. I know that people can have specific allergies to guinea pigs, just not sure how common this is? It'd be awful if he could literally never come see me at home!
My heart is telling me yes yes yes! But my head is saying wooooooah.
Help?!
Pam
