Baby guinea pigs, or pups, can generally be housed with larger guinea pigs, but caution is needed. It's important to ensure that the larger guinea pigs are gentle and not aggressive, as they may inadvertently harm the smaller ones. Supervision is crucial during initial introductions to monitor their interactions. Additionally, ensure there's enough space and hiding spots in the cage to prevent stress and allow the pups to escape if needed.
I prefer already built cages over custom built ones as they tend to last longer. I got my guinea pig's cage here http://www.petproductsbyroyal.com/rabbit-guinea-pig/
Try looking up C&C cages. They are the cheapest, and some of the only ones that are big enough for guinea pigs.
Actually, baby Guinea Pigs are just called Guinea Pigs, the same as older ones... They don't have a special name, like a dog that's called a puppy, or a cat that's called a Kitten!
a baby guinea pig is known as a Pup. (though never a puppy)
Um, I've never heard that before but all you need to do is buy a baby doll,(at a store) and/or buy baby doll daipers-so you know they won't hurt you guinea pig. That's how I'd make a daiper for my guinea pig. Just go out and find super small ones :)
It's generally not recommended to house different types of animals in the same cage with guinea pigs, as they may stress each other out or can be a danger to each other. Guinea pigs are social animals and do best when housed with other guinea pigs. If you want to have different types of animals together, it's best to provide separate cages for each species to ensure their well-being.
One that has space and it needs to be high enough so they wont get out. C&C cages are one of the best ones out there and you make it your self.
I have 4 guinea pigs and my ginger one bites the baby ones ears it obviously means that your guinea pig is just trying to show the other guinea pig who's boss if it doesn't stop in about 1 hour ether separate the cage into 2 parts if that doesn't help separate them completely they just wont get on. If you don't ,then they could get very hurt.
Baby Rabbits are born naked and without open eyes.But,baby Guinea Pigs are more developed,they have fur on their body and are born with open eyes. Baby Guinea Pigs can stand on its own feet just after a minute unlike rabbits.Also,baby Guinea Pigs can eat some foods that adult Guinea pigs eat.But,rabbit babies are fully depended on their mother for food.
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****
you can certainly try, but look closely over the 2-4 days afterward. if the baby isn't going to the food or water, or if you see the older ones pushing it out of the way, then remove the baby instantly. if the older ones bully it for ages and ages, they will eventually kill it
Get 2 young ones of the same sex, boys or girls, and handle them frequently (but gently).
