Guinea Pigs

Descriptions, habitats, and feeding information on guinea pigs.

  • A guinea pig's lifespan is 4 - 7 years.

  • They sleep for short periods throughout the day.

  • They are very messy so cage cleaning can be as often as twice a day.

  • To bathe your cavie: 1. Bath guinea pigs on a warm day or in a warm room, free from drafts , 2. Keep their heads dry, 3. Use a mild baby shampoo, 4. Use warm water - only a few inches, 5. Rinse well, 6. Towel dry thoroughly, 7. Use a hair dryer on low to finish drying your pet, not directly on pet

  • When excited, scared or during playtime, they squeal quite loudly so the bedroom is probably not the best place for their cage.

  • Guinea pigs should always have a good daily supply of grass or hay. They also need to have guinea pig mix, mash or guinea pig pellets. But if they do not eat something in the mix, don't leave it out of their next feed because it is not kind to allow them to develop lazy eating habits. You need to feed them plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables in order to supply their vitamin C.

  • They are fairly delicate, so must be handled gently to avoid injuries.

  • Young children must be supervised around them at all times.

  • It will take your new guinea pig between 2 and 4 weeks to become accustomed to your home.

  • If you are still interested in getting a guinea pig, please visit your local library and read up on this wonderful species. Both of you will be much happier because you did.
