Can guinea pigs have powerade?

No. Guinea Pigs can not have powerade. The only drink that guinea pigs are allowed to have is water. Any other drinks (especially Powerade, Gatorade, ...etc...) could potentially make them sick and/or kill them. I would highly recommend getting the book "Guinea Pigs (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) " which can be found at your local PetSmart or Petco. It will tell you all about keeping your Guinea Pig safe and healthy.

The difference is genetic. Teddy genetics: tt Rex Genetics: rxrx Realize that guinea pigs purchased from stores are often mixed bred, mis-sexed, and sick. Please do not purchase your guinea pigs or breed them, rather you should adopt. Most guinea pigs are mixed bred so even if they appear like a rex or teddy they are most likely mutts. Breeders only add to the number of homeless animals by carelessly breeding, please adopt.
