I have two shoots growing in container pots and I want them to be inside to provide better air than my closed up apartment has now. Also, are they toxic to guinea pigs if eaten?

All parts of Datura are toxic if consumed. Convulsions and coma can result if enough is eaten. I would not let pets or children anywhere near it.
