Piggies with rats

Question
Hi Shawnita,
I have two guinnea pigs and my little brother(10) has two rats, and I was wondering if they would do good together.
Another thing is that I'm nearly 12 and I was wondering if I could get antibacterial shampoo at one of the two Pet's Marts in the Salt Lake valley.


    Thanks, Joel

Answer
Hi! Please do not put the two rats with your two guinea pigs. They are of different species and one may hurt the other. Keep them seperated. I think you should be able to find antibacterial shampoo at the petsmart. I wouldn't use it on your animals though they should never be bathed with water unless there's something that can't come out of their fur. :-)
