Guinea pigs should never be put in exercise balls as I stated. I know they are advertised on ebay etc as suitable but take it from me that they are most certainly not. Guinea pigs are shy animals who would sooner run and hide under neath things and in corners than charge around a room in a ball. They are better off snuggling on your knee on a towel whilst you groom them or feed them veg than playing with toys. In fact, guinea pigs just don't 'do' toys. Neither do they 'do' harnesses. Harnesses are a dangerous idea where the naturally nervous, panicky guinea pig is concerned!

There's plenty of basic info in my original post. There is also lots of info online and some good guinea pig forums where you can find even more out. All it takes is a 'search'.
