Guineas going to graze on grass following lawn treatments...

[dietcokeandwine]

Would appreciate advice from any super furry animals experts...

Does anyone have their lawns treated by a specialist company (weedkillers etc) and happily put their guineas out to graze afterwards?

We have Greenthumb treat our lawn 4 times per year - we acquired a couple of gorgeous guineas earlier this year and now it's getting warmer I'd like to get them a run for outdoors, but am a bit concerned about the safety aspect following the lawn treatment days. Greenthumb advise it's fine to put them out half an hour after the treatment's gone down as once it's dried it's quite safe for pets including grazing ones! I think I'd be a bit scared to put them out the same day, but am presuming putting them out the day after a treatment should be okay...

Anyone got any words of wisdom?

Thanks in advance

do you mean a hormone weedkiller?

I googled Greenthumb. It says it's safe for pets.
There's a post on a Rabbit Forum (came up in Google) .They recommend waiting 5 days after fertilisier, 7 days after weedkiller. Water if there's no rain.And mow the lawn before rabbits go back.
I'd assume if it's safe for rabbits it would be safe for guinea-pigs.

We don't use any weedkiller (too lazy rather than too green ) and I found some lovely big dandelions right at the bottom of the garden.

Thanks 70isalimit - that advice sounds sensible in terms of number of days to wait. Our last lawn treatment was early March, and the new super-duper-mega-fox-resistant palace run arrived today so we put them out, and they've been out having a marvellous time
