What do you do with your guinea pig while you go on vacation2007-11-24 22:16:44

Thats the #1 reason my dad said "no" when I asked to get a guinea pig. What do you do with your guinea pig while you go on vacation?*Taking them with us is NOT an option(I wish it were though)*

Answers:

Give her to a friend for the time you're gone, or have someone come over every day and give her fresh food/water. It'd be easier though just to have someone take her so they dont have to drive to your house every day. Im sure somebody would be willing to watch after her while youre gone. Ask around now, see if anyone would be willing, and if they say yes, tell your dad that you've already found someone who will babysit your guinea pig while you're gone, so that's not an issue anymore.

If no friends or family will do it then you could leave her with your local vet for the time you're away, but they will charge, usually by the day. I'm not sure how much they charge to board guinea pigs. If I were you I'd call around and ask if they do it, and if so, how much they charge. Present all this information to your father, show him you've done your research. That'll prove that you're serious about wanting a guinea pig. You might also want to offer to pay for half (if not all) of the cost of keeping it at the vet while youre gone. But, it'd definitely be better if you could find a family member or friend to keep it instead.they usually wont charge you.

Leave them at home and make my sister take care of them.

You kill it and eat it before you leave on vacations

Have a trusted family member or friend take care of them. That's what I usually do. Or wait tell after vacation to get one.

My friend leaves hers with the Vet. Ask a friend to keep them and be sure you have all the supplies they will need.
