Whichever, but make sure that you get them young so you can choose whether they live indoors or outdoors.
It depends entirely upon where you live. Guinea pigs kept as pets in Australia rarely live inside, unless they are show or breeding animals. There are brilliant hutches that can be bought for outdoors, which give the guinea pig plenty of protection from the heat in summer and the cold in winter.
Well if she doesn't like rodents, guinea pigs don't really look like them. If that helps. But problem is guinea pigs can't really live full time outside.
guinea pigs have very limited lifespans outside as they are susceptible to respiratory infections in the cold and DO NOT handle heat well. i would suggest getting your guinea pigs inside and if you cannot please surrender them to an animal shelter that can provide them the life they deserve. recent research has proven that even rabbits (who are much heartier than guinea pigs) should NOT be kept outside.
well... "giant guinea pigs" are actually called capybara and are closely related to guinea pigs the live in the amazon rainforest in south american and feed mostly on grasses and aquatic plants they have web toes and are about 4 feet long and live in packs.
Guinea pigs are quite the ready freddy animal. They are born with all their teeth, eyes open and ready to run. If their mother lives outside the newborn babies will be fine outside. As long as it is not too cold or too hot.
yes...my daughter has had one for 3 years
First of all, guinea pigs shouldn't really live outside because it makes their life shorter, so if i were you i would just buy a indoor guinea pig cage and bring it inside so there will be no more rats!
There average lifespan i s 5 to 7 years. The above does not address the question. A guinea pig can live inside its entire life, as long as its cage and surroundings are kept clean. If you live in a cold area, it is better to keep your guinea pig inside as they do not tolerate cold very well. A guinea pig is happier living outside in warm temperate regions of the world. Guinea-pigs are grazing animals, which is why they particularly enjoy grazing on the grass outside.
Guinea pigs dont live in Peru, they live in an island called Guinea this here, is a picture of guinea
Guinea pigs can stay "outside" as long as they have a hutch of cage that is raised off the ground and may provide shelter for them if it starts to rain, ect. If you are choosing to have a pet guinea pig, It is best to keep them inside if you have the time to clean out their cage 2-3 times a week. If your looking for a low maintence pet, you could always keep them outside. This will affect its behaviour, and I reacently had a guinea pig that died of fright from a snake in our yard. Now I keep all my guinea pigs inside.
Guinea pigs are from South America.
no, guinea pigs cannot live with these animals, and yes, guinea pigs will be hurt by wild mice. guinea pigs should live with other guinea pigs, and wild mice should stay wild.
guinea pigs live 4 to 7 years.
