Is it ok if guinea pigs go swimming?

Question

I have 2 guinea pigs and a chlorine pool in my backyard is is bad for guinea pigs to swim in it? do they know how to swim?

thanks :D

Answer 1

They do know how to swim, but it would not be a good idea to let them swim in a large pool with that much chlorine. They do not have enough stamina to swim for long, and the chlorine will seriously harm their skin; their hair might start falling out.. Supervised swimming in tap water in a bathtub is probably better.

Hope that helped!

Answer 2

No, they will drown.

Answer 3

my guinea pig loved swimming in the sink.

Answer 4

Yes, it is okay. Just try not to get their heads too wet because the water could get in their eyes and hurt them. Have fun in the pool!!!

Answer 5

um with chlorine yes i would suggest just normal pure water

Only in natural tap water. No pool or spa (They could get very hurt) I let mine in shallow waters like sink and bath tub NOT THE TOILET! TOILET NOT GOOD!
