Hi! I'm new to the forum.
I've been wondering about this for a while and i thought I'd ask.
I currently own two guinea pigs and a dog however I was looking to add a couple of buns to our pet family. My only concern is that since rabbits can pass on the bordetella disease to guinea pigs and both pets would be housed separately but in the same garden, could the pigs get it? Would it pass over on my clothes? Or when both pets are free ranging? How common is bordetella? Can my dog catch it from my rabbits? Bordetella has been a big worry of mine for a while but I've always wanted to own some buns. Both pets will be housed at opposite ends of the garden in sheds but will be allowed all around during free range time. Thanks x
