I have a house guest this week: a guinea pig. It’s been hot here so I placed an ice pack wrapped in a towel to help keep her comfortable. A guinea pigs’ safe operating area is between 65 to 75 degrees F (18 to 24 degrees C) since they cannot sweat. . .
Here are some links to hot weather guinea pig care:
