We are thinking about getting our DC a pet(s). For various reasons dh and I never had pets when we were kids so this is completely new for us. DC want something furry so we're thinking guinea pigs. DC are 10 & 8.
We want to get all the info first before making a final decision.. what do I need to know?
I am mostly confused about where they live. We don't have much room indoors except for a conservatory which gets boiling in the summer so I'm thinking that's not good. We have a garden that could take a hutch but I've read conflicting advice about them being kept outside all year ( we are SE England).
Also can you recommend a good book/website to read about guinea pig care?
Just to add we haven't made up our mind completely yet - just doing the research!
Thanks in advance.
