I’m glad we had two Guinea Pigs now!!

Another Fun fact for a Friday!

In Switzerland it is illegal to own just one guinea pig.

This law was introduced in 2008, because guinea pigs are herd animals and have ‘social rights’ and should have a companion.

However, it is most unlikely that if you have two guinea pigs they will both die at the same time and the advice from Vets is that you should not put a baby guinea pig in with an older guinea pig, because the older one may bully it, or eat it, which may not end well, but in Switzerland you can now rent-a-guinea pig to help out with this problem. Come on UK, catch up!!
