Guineas are dumb as a rock and around here we're lucky if we can get them to 
adulthood unless they are locked up 24/7.  We gave them a try but it was 
money down the drain. :(

So, I'll keep forcing down the horse pills and try to figure out a way to 
keep those itty bitty tiny nasty little critters off me :)
