Question
Hello,
I was just wondering, Can Giunea Pigs be allergic to other piggies?

Answer
Ashley,

I have never heard of two guinea pigs being allergic to one another. Make sure that it's not the bedding if your guinea pig is sneezing. Also, try giving them both a good bath (use Johnson's Baby Shampoo, and dry them very well), and see if that helps. It may just be the bedding, dirt on the other guinea pig, or allergy season. Doubt the pig's allergic to the other one.

Good Luck,
Matt
