Answer 2

You should probably keep her in a cooler room, she will get respatory problems if not.

Answer 3

no.not usually.some guinea pigs even live outside.my guinea pig i had a long time ago lived for 5 years without even one cold!and yes there was a fan in the summer by his cage.and his cage was next to a window.and yes he lived upstairs.your guinea pig should be fine

Answer 4

Yes, any sort of draft can cause URIs (Upper Respiratory Infections) in guinea pigs, and they are very susceptible to them. A frozen water bottle wrapped a in towel for them to snuggle against may be a better way to help them stay cool.  If you want a fan going, make sure it is not pointed directly at the guinea pigs. Indirect drafts are not dangerous, and if you think there's a possibility of heat stroke without the fan then I'd just aim the fan in a different direction.

Answer 6
