Guinea Pigs
Lifespan: 5-7 years
Housing: Big enough for it to run in and must
be Indoors! You’ll need a solid-bottom cage (wire floors can hurt their feet). Never
use a glass aquarium, due to the poor ventilation that it provides. Medium
flower pot or covered sleeping box.
Bedding: Do not use cedar or pine chips—the
oils they contain can be dangerous to your pets
Toys: Places for it to hide, Chewing toys,
puzzles and things for digging.
Feed: Guinea pig pellets, small amounts of
fresh fruit and vegetables to your guinea pigs every day. Try grapes,
cucumbers, corn, peas, carrots and pears. Grass hay available to your pets at
all times.
Water: Fresh water daily in attachable
water bottle with drinking tube.
Health: Guinea pigs’ teeth grow continuously,
just like those of other rodents. That’s why it is important that you provide
yours with something to gnaw on at all times.
