Yes, you can walk a Guinea pig. You can buy a harness for it at a pet store.

However, you should know that wearing a harness and "being walked" is highly unnatural for a guinea pig. In captivity, guinea gigs should be kept with plenty of space. Rocks and rocky ground are good for climbing (which keeps them fit) and for maintaining their claws (wear-out on rocks keeps the claws short and healthy). A balanced diet and appropriate living conditions should be all the guinea pig needs.

If it needs walking, something is wrong with its keeper.

You can get leads for them but be careful if you do walk them because they can get very frightened and they are very nervous creatures. Be careful when dogs or cats come past because they might try and attack your guinea pig, I hope this helped.

I currently have a guinea pig and a leash. My guinea pig doesn't really like the leash so she just sits there and doesn't move. I wouldn't suggest wasting your money on a leash because my best bet is that they will also just sit there and not move also.

No! Guinea pigs should never be too cold. They are from South America, so they aren't made for our climate. Because of this they can catch colds. A cold to them is like pneumonia for us. They could die from a cold. If you were going on a trip, I would suggest leaving your guinea pigs with a friend or neighbor unless it is only for 1,2, or even 3 days. But make sure you feed them before you leave. Make sure, that if you can, cover the guinea pigs' cage with a blanket at night. This will help a little bit to help keep in heat. Even if your guinea pig is long haired, they are still as vulnerable to colds. This is safety for your guinea pig. Hope this helps.

Leads are available for Guinea Pigs but I don't think It's a good idea to them for a walk down the road. # They're very reluctant to walk # If a cat comes along, there will be mayhem
