Comments on: Would you recommend using guinea pig manure around the home garden? is it as good as say, cow/horse manure?

I would put it in a compost heap first and let it ferment for a while, but yes, it's great fertilizer.

you probably can't find much information because it would take a huge number of guinea pigs to produce the amount of manure one horse can produce. There is absolutely NO reason NOT to use it unless, as the other post notes, it is mixed up with wood shavings.

if it,s not mixed with wood chip litterr it,s ok. when wood deterorates it takes allthe nitrogen outof your soil. i would let it age at least six or eight months before i used it though
