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.

Of course, I mean to title this "Best way to treat a lawn that is shared
with guinea pigs"

You've got guinea pigs running around on the lawn - and you need
fertiliser???

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.

What about applying weedkillers? How long should I keep guinea pigs off a lawn treated with weedkiller?

Cheers, Dave.
