i just need a way to persuade them

Answer 1

dogs won't get jelous, but they will chase it if it's in it's sight. tell them that guinea pigs are really easy to care for, I own 25 of them and I only spend $20 a fortnight

Answer 2

tell your mum that two pets will give you more confidence and responsibility and show her how much you want one say you will not have two do anything i will do it all.......and if you have tried and tried and tried and she still sez no just be thankful that you have a pet and is a dog....good luck  x x x

Answer 3

1. Guinea pigs are a WONDERFUL pet.

2.Good luck!

3. I have two dogs, Bellle and Misty. Misty is like 9 now, and Belle is a little past 1. Misty just sniffs my guinea, Peanut.

Belle, she play's a little rougher. They aren't jealous cause Misty is Daddy's baby, and Belle is mine and Mom's. So they could care less. I think Belle just wants someone to play with, Misty hates Belle. But one time I was outside with my other guinea pig and Belle, and I looked down to do my homework. I heard a squeek and I looked up and BELLE HAD PUT PEPPERMINT (the guinea pig) UNDER DAD'S GRILL! So my neighbor is over just sitting there as I am crying and trying to get her out and I'm telling my sister to go get dad and she is just sitting there. So I tell my neighbor to get his and he just stares so I yell for my dad and she was rescued. :) I don't think that will happen with yours, but I learned my lesson: NEVER LEAVE A PLAYFUL PUPPY AND A GUINEA PIG ALONE TOGETHER UNSUPERVISED!!! And the dog's still get more attention then the guinea pig cause they are like roaming around the house while the guinea is in her cage.

Answer 4

Usually dogs will not be jealous if you spend atleast equal time with each pet. Also if you are thinking of getting any type of rodent i'd suggest seeing your local S.P.C.A Shelter. They have lots of Guinea Pigs, bunnies, hamsters ect.

Answer 5

I bet if you keep a guinea pig away from the dog the dog wouldn't even know it's there. I have a guinea pig and a fish.
