If you've just been handling food, then the guinea pig might like the taste of it. Or it could like the taste of YOU, so watch your back, your guinea pig wants to eat you!!
They lick them.
yes they are cleaning themselves.
Surprisingly, yes. My guinea pig loves to lick fingers! In many ways, a guinea pig is much like a dog. Do they lick themselves? No.
Yes of course they do because they are very clean animals
Guinea pigs may lick your fingers as a way of grooming you, showing affection, or trying to get salt from your skin. It doesn't necessarily mean they are happy, but it can be a sign of bonding and trust.
Guinea pigs should have a white salt lick, as brown or colored salt licks may contain added ingredients that are harmful to their health. White salt licks are pure and safe for guinea pigs to consume in moderation.
sometimes I like to lick peanut butter off my guinea pigs face.
this isn't random and yes most guinea pigs actually do this...they do it as a sign of affection towards each other and to clean any watery build up on the eyes
Yes, they eat so much they need a salt block to lick daily.
Yes they can, as its only frozen water. i had a small iceblock and my guiena pigs loved to chew and lick at it:) Its perfectly fine
Guinea Pigs, unlike cats and dogs, don't lick themselves. Therefore, Guinea Pigs don't have hairballs. Improvement: However, some guinea pigs are prone to "barbering" to eating fur off either themselves, other pigs, or their human companions. Excessive barbering can lead to hairballs which in turn can lead to anorexia and weight loss and must be treated.
^^Yes, they can. It's quite cute, actually. Now, please know not all Piigies will do this. Some just like to lick people's fingers, some bite, some sniff, and it goes on and on. It depends on the personality!-GuineaBooAnswerGuinea pigs will lick you because your skin is covered with a fine layer of salt which pigs need a little of in their diets (just like us!). A salt lick in the hutch will ensure your pig has the salt he needs whenever he wants it.
