Default Best way to treat a lawn that is ahred with guinea pigs

Hi,

We have a couple of guinea pigs who live outdoors on the lawn in a movable
hutch/run during the summer months.

Can anyone tell me of any lawn fertilisers and feeds that are available

that
will DEFINATELY NOT harm the guinea pigs. Most fertilisers say they're

safe
after a period of time for kids and pets, but I assume that means larger
pets like cats and dogs.

If there are any rabbit owners who have a solution then please pipe up too
as what's ok for the rabbit is probably ok for the guinea pigs.


if you are going to apply any fertiliser I sugges something organic.
Synthetics may be ok but I can't vouch for what is in them. Pelletised poop
should be ok. Try fertilising one 1/2 of the lawn at a time. Fertilise on
1/2, graze the pigs on theother 1/2 for 2-3 weeks and then swap them round.
