Are Guinea pigs ok?

[waruikazi]

i'm not even gonna bother

Actually yes will.

Tell me how it is different than feeding any other type of small mammal?? Is is cos they are cute and cuddly? and yes, atleast up here, the ones that aren't sold generally end up at the RSPCA where homes are sought but never found. Then they are euthenased. I know this because i know the head vet at our RSPCA and have and do know pet shop owners.

Yes most people seam to think cats are cute and cuddly, I disagree – I have seen the destruction they cause if owned by incompetent people that I would not trust with fungus let-alone mammals – I think cats should either be banned or ALL cat owners and cats should have to be registered and all cats accounted for – but that’s a whole new contentious issue.
Man I really did not appreciate that asking if guinea pigs were ok for our snakes was going to turn into this!

I totally agree with what you’ve had to say – I just did not appreciate how quickly people pick up and run of on a tangent with info LOL.
I have learnt a lot and had many questions answered along the way – I also now know that a little variety in the snake’s diet will not harm them.
I had thought of giving our pets some variety, as I imagined that snakes in the wild would be opportunistic hunters and eaters, and like all of us – would have preferences – but would pretty much eat whatever was soft, fury, warm blooded and plentiful at the time.
I thank all of you who have contributed to this post – you information has been greatly received

That happens a bit round here
as to the guineas, they don't breed quite as regularly;y as that, so you would be better off with a few females and one male. I have kept guineas for many many years, and some only breed once or twice a year, likewise some can be sterile. So 3 or 4 fems to a boy should keep you in kits for what you need.

And for the record, rats and rabbits are just as cute as kittens and they are good fodder too
