INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you plan on letting your guinea pig explore a room with a garbage can, like the kitchen or an office, use a trash can that comes with a fastened lid. The smell of food might cause your guinea pig to chew on the can, or try to knock it over. You can also store your garbage can behind a closed door in a cupboard or pantry. While some fruits and vegetables are good for your guinea pig's diet, other common foods like raisins, nuts, and chocolate are harmful and can make them sick. Store these foods in a glass jar or plastic container, or put them in a secure cupboard or pantry. Some houseplants are poisonous to pets. If you have houseplants in areas where guinea pigs may roam, like living room tables or windowsills, consider hanging the plants from the ceiling or moving them to a high shelf out of your guinea pig's reach.

Keep common household supplies and toiletries like cleaning sprays, detergents, medications, hair products, and beauty products out of reach of guinea pigs. You can store them in a secure cupboard or on a high shelf. An easy way to do this is to run cords under rugs or behind furniture so your guinea pig can't get to them.

Clothespins, nails, tacks, and batteries are common small objects you might find around your house. Make sure these are put away in drawers or storage containers so your guinea pig doesn't hurt itself by touching or eating them.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you don't have a large enough pot to leave your bulbs outside during the winter, you can stash them in an enclosed space. A shed or garage that will stay cold but provide protection from snow and extreme cold are perfect. You can leave larger, well-insulated pots outside. The cold air actually helps the bulbs bloom later in the spring. As long as your bulbs are well-insulated, the outside air temperature won't matter much. Every few days, stick your finger into the potting soil around the bulbs. If the soil feels dry down to 1in (2.5cm), water the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes. After about 6 to 8 weeks in a chilly environment, you should see some green growth from your bulbs. If you're keeping your pot inside a garage or shed, you can move it outside once you see this growth. Too much sunlight can cause the bulb growth to wilt. An area with light shade gets about 60% shade and 40% sunlight and is the perfect place for your potted bulbs. Once your bulbs bloom, they'll need more water than they did when they were growing. Stick your finger into the soil to a depth of 1in (2.5cm) and check if the soil is dry. If it is, water the soil until water runs out of the drainage holes. Squirrels are likely to try to dig into your pots and get at the bulbs. You can cover the top of the pot with mesh wiring to protect the bulbs from squirrels and other critters. Bugs shouldn't be a problem during the winter, but if you start to notice some buzzing around, you can use a general insect repellent.

SUMMARY:
Keep bulbs planted in small containers in a cold, protected space. Check the moisture of the soil regularly. Move the pot outside after you see new growth. Make sure the bulbs get some light. Check the water level daily after the bulbs bloom. Protect your plants from pests and disease.
