Q. Do Guinea Pigs have allergies..? A. Yes.

Ethan's first pet, Mario the Guinea Pig, is apparently allergic to dust. Yes...the rodent is allergic to dust. So we are now having to buy the really expensive shredded paper bedding to avoid an upper respitory tract infection...why didn't we get a fish?

The great part is that Mario suits our family so well with his allergies and finicky eating habits...he will only eat vegetables and hay, he just stared at the pellet food then looked back at me like I was crazy.

We will take some more cute pics of Mario soon, he is a great new addition to our family, albiet a high maintenance one..I still need to find out how and if you can bathe Guinea Pig...

    How come you failed to mention that Guinea pigs also bite when they don't want to be picked up!

    Just so you'll know, guinea pigs are of the cavey class. A great well-source of information about these critters is at beanmakers.com
