Question
We have two girl guinea pigs and we want to get a ferrett will they get along? can they live 2gether? please help us

Answer
Hi Acord,

Guinea pigs should not be kept with any other animals, even small mammals, as they will not get along. Guinea pigs are prey animals and if attacked they will not fight back, but get very stressed and maybe even play dead. Other pets can also carry diseases that guinea pigs can catch, and eat foods that guinea pigs are allergic to.

Sorry!

Best wishes,
Jenny.
