Do you need to bring guinea pigs for regular check ups at the vet?

Answer 1

Once a month (regular checkups help spot new diseases on your bunny faster than "once in a blue-moon" checkups), once a few days or so if your bunny needs medicine or is sick or something like that.

Answer 2

About once a month even when he's not sick, just for safety.

Another opinion: Rabbits should go to the vet whenever they're sick or injured, and on a regular basis for a check-up.

Generally speaking, it's good to bring your bunny in for a check up once or twice a year, but how often your bunny needs a check-up depends on different things:

• Age (older bunnies should go more often)
• Any ongoing health concerns (like malocclusion, e-cuniculi, disability)
• Habitat (if he needs vaccines, or parasite testing)
• How much grooming and maintenance you can do at home (nail clipping, vent swabbing)

Your vet can tell you how often your bunny needs a check-up.

When you first bring home your rabbit, you should bring her to the vet for her first check-up right away. If there's anything wrong, you should know right away; also, this way you can find out important things, like the rabbit's weight (which determines food portion size).

See the related question below for more info and links about rabbit vets, including how to find one! It's important to use a vet that has experience and knowledge in bunnies, because they're so different from cats/dogs.

Answer 3
