Because they like their house and its nice and quiet mostly.
Also because Guinea Pigs are burrowing animals that like to hide. If you see your piggy moving it's bedding around inside and around it's house, it's because it's a burrowing act & your piggy is acting like it would out in the wild. Sitting in it's house is it's way of feeling safe.
I have a variety of "houses"/hiding places for my piggies, & they love them all! The longer that you have your piggie & the more you handle it, SAFELY & SECURELY, the more comfortable your piggie will be with coming out and lounging in the open. Although they will ALWAYS prefer some "quiet time" in the safe zones. Sometimes tho, my piggies will nap right out in the open, lounging stretched out like nobody's business! But I handle them several times per day, and when they nip to go back home, I take them back right away - it builds the trust between you and your pet!
Guinea pigs in the wild don't have much fight when they're scared, so they run. The flight part of "fight or flight " kicks in. It's probably that the guinea feels unsafe or nervous in some way, so they run to the place where they think it's safest.
guine pigs will stay still when they are scared, threatened or just comfortable. go to the website: guineapigsclub.com for more helpful tips!
Unlike hamsters or mice they do not sleep all dayand 'play' all night
If your talking about the little igloos which they sleep in then maybe it was because they were shuffling about and it moved or they wanted to play.
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.
If what you mean is can you keep guinea pigs indoors, then I can help you. Guinea pigs stay healthier when they are indoors where no bugs can get to them and there is ac. Message me if you have any other guinea pig or rabbit questions!! :D Jillian
No, guinea pigs are domesticated as pets. In some countries they are even raised for meat. There are still plenty of guinea pigs.
guinea pigs are not born blind. they have to be very independent to get away from their predetors within a week
i think it does. especially when they are sleepy
they will run a way to get away from you hahahaha
59 - 72 days.
yea they can why wouldn't they be able to
you have to put the guinea pig in a cage and feed it with the guinea pig food and just be normal
No. if they were guinea pigs that don't fight with each other than the non-blind one might help the blind one get around, eat and live a normal life.
There are still wild guinea pigs living in South America, in the mountains of Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Wild guinea pigs have different predators to modern guinea-pigs because of where they live. Predators of wild guinea pigs are wild cats, coyotes, wolves, snakes, hawks, and owls. Humans probably hunt them for easy food, also.
No!!!!!!!They are actually part of the rodent family.
