Hello! I have a 14 year old jack russel mix. I would like to adopt guinea pigs, but I’m not sure about how it would work... He chases small animals in the yard, so I would keep them separated during the day, and maybe have them in the same room at night (but never out of the cage when the dog is in the room.) What are your thoughts about this? Thanks!

If Sid chases small animals, I would not get a guinea pig. Even though it will be in a cage, he may try to get to it, which will stress out the guinea pig a lot. I don't think it would be a good idea. I hope this helps!
