Problem: Article: Male guinea pigs (boars) can become sexually mature as early as three weeks of age. Female guinea pigs (sows) can become sexually mature as early as four weeks of age.  It is entirely possible for a male pup to impregnate its mother or sisters. Pet stores often keep both sexes together, resulting in many people being sold sows which are already pregnant. The easiest way to prevent pregnancy is to keep the two sexes apart.  Guinea pigs should be split into same-sex groups at 3 weeks old. Remember guinea pigs are social animals and should be kept in groups, so if you own both a boar and a sow make sure to provide company of the same sex for both of them. Another way to prevent pregnancy in guinea pigs is to have the boars neutered. It is also possible to have sows spayed, but this is a more complex and risky process. Always have an exotics or cavy savvy vet for guinea pig surgery.  Neutered boars should be kept separate from sows for four weeks after surgery. This is because sperm can survive in his tubes for this length of time. So, while neutering means he cannot produce more sperm, he could still theoretically sire offspring for a short time after castration As a general rule, guinea pigs do not respond well to anaesthetic so if it is possible, separating the sexes is a safer option. Pregnancy in guinea pigs carried as 1 in 5 chance of death, and there is also a high risk of stillbirth. If you would like another guinea pig, your local rescue center will have many pigs in need of caring and loving homes.
Summary: Realise how easily guinea pigs can become pregnant. Separate guinea pigs into same-sex groups. Neuter male guinea pigs. Avoid deliberately breeding your guinea pig.

Problem: Article: In some instances you should store vitamins or supplements in the fridge, but only if the label instructs you to do so. Although most vitamins and supplements should be stored at room temperature, there are some vitamins and supplements that require refrigeration.  These include liquid vitamins, and some essential fatty acids and probiotics. Probiotics contain active cultures that can die if exposed to heat, light or air, so it is essential that you refrigerate them. Still, not all essential fatty acids, liquid vitamins and probiotics are required to be kept in the refrigerator, so it’s best to check the label first. It is more likely that you will be instructed to store liquids in the fridge than other forms of vitamins or supplements. Some multivitamins tablets are best kept in the fridge too. Make sure you secure the lid very tightly to avoid any moisture penetration. Leaving the lid loose in the refrigerator means exposing your supplements to excess moisture, which could seriously degrade the vitamins or supplements.  Keep the container well out of the reach of any children or pets. Even if they are in a childproof container, you should make sure that they are inaccessible. Put your supplements in a separate airtight container from foods to prevent any potential contamination. Perishable foods in the fridge could easily spoil, so it’s best to put vitamins and supplements in a separate airtight container.  If foods spoil nearby your supplements, any mould or bacteria could spread to them if they are not properly separated. Remember to keep your vitamins and supplements in their original containers. Airtight containers will not completely eliminate moisture, as you will let in moisture whenever you open the container.
Summary: Read the label first. Store the vitamins in a secure container. Separate them from foods with airtight containers.

Problem: Article: Let your rationality guide you, but do not let it lead you astray. Following a religion does not make anyone superior, nor does your atheism make you superior to anyone. Atheism has no dogma. Don't be fanatical when discussing your beliefs with others, and try not to be pretentious. It's fine to be passionate about your beliefs, but there is no need to dismiss people for their methods of creating meaning.  An atheist respecting the beliefs of religious people is no different than a Jewish person respecting a Catholic's views. Remember that their views cannot be proved or disproved. If someone attacks with their opinions, you have every right to defend your decision. Consider, however, whether it will help either of you to argue about your difference in belief. Consider whether either of you is actually going to change his or her stance on the subject. Atheism is not a religion, it's the absence of any religion. Trying to proselytize or get people to change their minds about their beliefs makes you just as evangelistic as a religious person. Do not force your beliefs onto anyone. Not only will people be less likely to listen to aggressive, dismissive rhetoric—but you will risk falling into the same pattern of dogmatically-skewed logic that many atheists claim to eschew. If someone is going to lose their religion, they will walk that path in their own time and through their own questioning. Ask yourself whether it is your place or prerogative to move the process along. Try to see the similarities, rather than the differences, between yourself and religious people. The world is filled with kind, brilliant theists as well as kind, brilliant atheists. We are all human, and we are all trying to make sense of our existence. Consider your own search for existential meaning—perhaps through your exploration of atheism, and perhaps through other channels—and try to imagine how a religious person may have found similar peace through their own unique search. Learn how to explain why you are atheist, in case people ask. Atheism is often misunderstood, and you may get questions from curious people. Be as polite and informative as possible, and answer their questions as well as you can. Explain that it is not a belief, but a conclusion that you have come to based on the available evidence in the world.  If you are probed further about your atheism, it would be smart to bring up Bertrand Russell's Celestial Teapot idea, and explain that it does not make sense to you to believe in something simply because mankind lacks the evidence to disprove its existence. Open yourself up to a rational, two-way discussion. Treat other people—religious or otherwise—as intelligent human beings who are worthy of your respect.
Summary:
Respect the beliefs of others. Don't try to convert people to atheism. Empathize. Be ready to explain your beliefs.
