They weigh much less and barely eat or drink. But they are masters at hiding their illness because before they were domesticated they would hide their illness to show they weren't weak to protect themselves from predators. Weigh them weekly to make sure!

There are a number of ways to tell if a guinea pig is ill. It may refuse to eat, become

aggressive suddenly, or appear to be in pain when it's petted or held. Other

symptoms may include a severe amount of hair loss, discharge from the eyes, and

listlessness. Normally any kind of unusual behavior or instances could be a sign

of an ill guinea pig.
