Guinea Pig tips

Guinea Pigs are rodents, despite their name, they are not pigs. Do not get tricked by the name, because these animals do not come from Guinea. Guinea Pigs originally came from the Andes Mountains in South America.

When you have Guinea Pigs home as pets, you should consider neutering them. Obviously when they are not together this would not be necessary.

You should not put Guinea Pigs with rabbits, because the rabbits are so much bigger and they can kick the Guinea Pig with their hind leg.

To keep your fluffy pet healthy, you should give them lots of vegetable leaves and vitamin C. They looove cucumbers. So remember to keep those items on your shopping list.

Guinea Pigs love to be cuddled every day. They like to have their body picked up gently, they have very delicate bones.

When ready to buy a Guinea Pig, make sure it is a baby because they are easier to tame when young.

Guinea Pigs are friendly animals, and make real good pets. They come in many different colors, pick your favorite and have fun.
