In the wild their best form of defense is running, hiding, and living in burrows. In captivity however their first line of defense is generally hiding, vocalizations, and may be followed by their teeth.
Scratching and Biting.
It is fine to never bath your guinea pig. They dont need a bath because they clean themselves.
Surprisingly, yes. My guinea pig loves to lick fingers! In many ways, a guinea pig is much like a dog. Do they lick themselves? No.
by running away or biting with its sharp tusk
no need. they will separate themselves
It is spelled "guinea pig". You got it right! :)
To the best of my knowledge, there are no guinea pig-specific vaccinations available. The only vaccine I can think of that you might want to consider for your guinea pig would be a rabies vaccine, but there are risks associated with this. There are no rabies vaccines that are validated to be safe or effective for guinea pigs, so it could cause a severe reaction or just not work to protect your guinea pig. The best option will be to protect your guinea pig by not letting it play outside unsupervised or unprotected.
Some guinea pigs may be curious or indifferent when shown their reflection in a mirror, while others may become scared or aggressive. It's best to monitor your guinea pig's reaction and remove the mirror if it causes distress.
they protect from threat & the young suckle from the mothers teat.
