Guinea pig inventory records missing
A current record of guinea pigs on hand was not available during this inspection. Approximately 259 adult guinea pigs and 93 newborns were counted during this inspection. There were no inventory records maintained for several months. Failure to maintain these records can make it difficult to assess the health of the caviary by identifying animal losses by decreased number of guinea pigs born or raised. The licensee must maintain records containing the required information for animals which discloses the number of guinea pigs held, owned, acquired, or disposed of including births and deaths. Correct by September 22, 2022.
Mouse droppings and spilled feed
Pest control. Mouse droppings were present along the wall in the office and in the guinea pig room. There were accumulations of spilled dog food and guinea pig feed on the floor by stacked bags of feed. No pest control measures were noted in the animal building. Wild rodents and pests can expose guinea pigs to disease risks. Removing spilled feed from the floor and hiding areas can help to control pests problems. The licensee must establish and maintain an effective pest control program to control wild mice. Corrected by September 22, 2022.
Enclosures numbered 22, 24, 25 and 35 had rusty and sharp metal edges on the self-feeders on the sides of the trough. Sharp metal edges could injure the guinea pigs while eating and rusty surfaces can not be properly clean and sanitized. Primary enclosures for guinea pigs including accessories must be constructed and maintained in good repair to protect the animals and maintained so that surfaces are impervious to liquids and moisture. The rusty and sharp edges on self- feeders need to be repaired or replaced. Correct by June 20, 2023.
