guinea pigs can breathe on their backs but if u force them to lay on their backs then they will bite you. if they roll on their backs by themselves and do not struggle to get up leave them there they will be fine.
Through their nose
it is not just the female guinea pig. all guinea pigs need exersise but never ever get a running wheel for the guinea pig their backs are so sensitive.
Most guinea-pigs like to be gently scratched on the back of their necks - this often elicts 'purring' from them. They also like to be stroked along their backs, but again, not too hard as it can hurt them.
they should not breath heavily, this is a sign of phemonia and colds and/or a fever. if you can see your guinea pig breath heavily and can somtimes hear them smeaze or rattle or even breatyh in and out TAKE IT TO THE VET IMMEDIATLY! you guinea pig will die if not taken to the vet with these sympoms thank you
You shouldn't use balls to exercise guinea pigs. They have quite long bodies so running in one puts undo stress on their backs. Instead, use a fenced-in pen and let your guinea pig have fun running around inside it.
usually when a guinea pig dies its eyes are open, but if it died sleeping then its eyes should be closed.
No!!!!!!!They are actually part of the rodent family.
Because if they did, it could seriously injure their backs/spines. They are not like rats or hamsters. Never put a guinea pig on a running wheel!
No.
the will pant and breath heavily. this is a sign that happens when it starts. they will also get bigger then they normally are.
You probably shouldn't- guinea pigs are not as flexible as hamsters and the like, and may fall and be seriously injured. You should also NEVER put a guinea pig on a wheel- they will break their backs.
guinea pigs like to get rubbed in various places, it really depends on your guinea pig's personality but most guinea pigs love getting rubbed behind their ears and on the back. I think that's what you are asking. My guinea pigs love it when I rub them slowly behind their ears. They like to stretch and relax when I do it. They usually lay down when I do it and have this hazy face that has 'That Feels Good' written all over it. :P
