11 Weeks Pregnant, Has Two Pet Guinea Pigs. Will Caring For Them Cause Any Harm To The Foetus?
hi i m 11 weeks pregnant, I have 2 guinea pigs and I m not sure if I meant to be around them. If someone takes care of them for a few months would I be affected or would the baby inside me be affected? and for the person who take care of the guinea pigs would they end up with any diseases or something, I would really appreciate your answer.

If proper hygiene is maintained then there should be no reason why you cannot be around the pigs. Make sure the animals are healthy though.
