At what age can guinea pigs live 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.


What if your guinea pigs live in a cage outside. Now you find there are two RATS that come to the cage at night looking for food. Willl they hurt your piggies. What can you do to stop them?

How long can a guinea pig live inside for?

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.

What foods extend a guinea pig's life?

A guinea pig actually is safer in it's cage, provided that you have a good cage for it. It's far more likely to be hurt or get lost if it's out of it's cage. Also, the guinea pig wants to make a home and/or nest and wants bedding material, such as wood shavings. You need to ask the pet store people what would be good bedding material for your guinea pig. Get your guinea pig out of it's cage to play with it or just to hold it, but it needs to be in it's cage the rest of the time. No foods really extends your guinea pigs life. I've had four guinea pigs in the past and have two new ones right know. i get my guinea pigs in sets of two so they keep each other company all of my guinea pigs have lived long lives and one of my first guineas pigs lived up to seven years. All i did was feed it fruits and veggies take it outside in the summer and let it eat grass, spend time with it, and let it run around. i made a big cage for my guinea pigs so they can run around outside and i also let them run around in a closed off area in my house. so really if you spend lots of time with it and take good care of your guinea pig it should live a long healthy life. **** make sure that if you have a cage outside to make sure it have a lid on it so other animals can't get at your piggy and also to always watch it and never leave it alone****
