There were accumulations of dirt and debris by the automatic water valves, metal rings over the holes for the water valves, and wood by the water valves. The water pipes and drainage pipes have accumulations of debris, grime, dust, and cobwebs. These accumulations on the water valves, metal rings and wood by the water valves exposes the guinea pigs to potential infections with bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
