Best Answer

Guinea Pigs need:

Hay or alfalfa to eat.

Guinea Pig food mix for calcium and variety.

Bedding.

Water and vitamin C drops in the water.

Bath powder. (because guinea pigs hate water!)

Cage.

Hideout/hut.

A place for your guinea pig to run.

Carring case to carry your guinea pig in.

Attention.

Guinea Pig Tips/Directions:

Guinea pigs do not like water, so that's why you need bath powder.... of course you could give them a water bath, but I'm warning you: they will try to get out of the water! How to bath-powder guinea pigs:

Shake a bit of powder on the guinea pig and take a brush and

brush all of the powder out.

Is a guinea pig ok in childcare setting?

No because children could possibly injure the guinea pig and you would probably not have the right tools to care for a guinea pig like the cup of lettuce they need daily, the 1/2 a cup of fruit and veggies they need daily, or the 7.5 square foot cage they need at a minium for 1 guinea pig. Maybe try a fish or a bird instead. Hope this helped :)
