* Toxicity: Perfume contains chemicals that can be toxic to guinea pigs. Even small amounts can cause skin irritation, respiratory problems, and even more serious health issues.
* Ingestion: Guinea pigs groom themselves often, and they might lick the perfume off their fur, leading to accidental poisoning.
* Stress: The strong scent can overwhelm and stress your guinea pig.
Instead of perfume, focus on providing your guinea pig with a clean and comfortable environment. If you want to make your guinea pig smell nice, you can try using a pet-safe deodorizing spray made for small animals.
Always consult with a veterinarian if you have any questions about your guinea pig's health or care.
