* Treat your guinea pig(s) kindly at all times * Try to hold your pig(s) everyday for at least 1/2 an hour * give your guinea pigs the ability to explore everyday by giving them floor time * always have fresh food and water available to your pig(s) (i.e hay, kibble) * Tell your guinea pig(s) you love them everyday, they won't understand a word your saying, but they will find the sound of your voice calming * Always keep your pig(s) well groomed and brushed * Give your pig(s) fresh fruits and vegetables everyday * Keep your guinea pig(s) cages as clean as possible * always keep an eye on the health of your guinea pig(s), and take them to a vet if you observe any kind of symptom of illness * check your pig's jaw(s) everyday by running your fingers around it for bumps or lumps * Check your pig's skin for lesions or sores everyday * Always remember that your guinea pig will not live forever and to cherish everyday you have with your beloved pet
