Honestly the only place I have seen this is on TV, but have you spoken to a local vet, they may same something. Yet it does not sound a concern as long as the guinea pig does not bite the child with attempts of feeding etc. good luck

Hello, There are no real healths concerns that I know of. The things you need to take in to consideration are primarily, does your child sufferer from allergies. After you have answered the next thing you need to think about is, they do not sleep as we do. They will be up at all hours. They do not squeak a lot at night, but they do drink of the water bottle and they do continuously chew. If your child is a light sleeper, it may not be the best choice. I have a house full of them as we have a guinea pig rescue, My daughters chief complaint was drinking from the water bottle at night. The primary rescue is on the first floor of our home, but there are always the ones that seem to be piggy napped to her room, if they are back down stairs the nest day I know they are mid-night drinker. The best advice I can give you is to try it and see how it works out. You may also want to ask a pediatrician these questions.
