What could be wrong with your 2 guinea pigs if they keep making a hacking kind of noise and when you give them their dry guinea pig food they seem to throw it up?

Throwing up is not a good thing, they are sick and if you can afford it, you need to take them to a vet. Guinea Pigs are considered an exotic pet, some vets do not treat them, so call around.

Are you giving your Guinea pigs Vitamin C drops in their water daily? This is very very important for their health. Thier bodies do not produce Vitamin C.

I hope you are not feeding them head lettuce this will make them very ill.

They love carrots, romaine lettuce, and baby spinach leaves.

Also, regarding their bedding material. I hope you are not using cedar chips; this can be toxic to small animals who are in an inclosed area. Pine chips are so much better. You can purchase the pine chips at Walmart.

AnswerUm...well you know nothing good ever comes of throwing up! ;) I hope you know Guinea Pigs are not like Hamsters. Hamsters don't really need Vitamin C. Actually, it hurts them if you give them it! (Don't give hamsters citrus fruits!) But Guinea Pigs need it. That's why ever Guinea owner puts 2 drops of Vitamin C drops PER OUNCE daily in the Guinea Piggy's water. :) If your not doing anything wrong (that you know of) you should try and get them to a vet!

P.S person above me, thanks for the tip! :o I never knew it mattered what kind of lettuce you gave them!!! (good thing I got my Guinea yesterday!) ;)

How is a wombat similar to a rodent?

Wombats and rodents are both mammals, although they are quite different types of mammals. Wombats are marsupials and rodents are placental mammals. Being both mammals, they share the common characteristics of all mammals.

In addition, wombats' teeth are unlike those of other marsupials, and more like a rodent's teeth. They continue to grow throughout the wombat's life, and so this marsupial must regularly gnaw on wood and other items that will help wear down the teeth.

What are the main features of a polis?

A polis is a Greek city-state. Instead of having a united country, the Greeks were divided into large, independent cities with their own governments and people. Some of the more famous poleis are Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, and Argos. Poleis were originally ruled by heredity kings. As these kings became unpopular, they were often overthrown by tyrants. Although usurpers to the throne that were considered illegitimate, they were often very popular because they ended the corrupt monarchies. After tyrannies, other forms of government, like democracies and oligarchies formed. The average polis was usually built around a hill. At the top of the hill was the acropolis, a heavily-protected fort that doubled as a temple to the local patron god. A polis also often featured an agora, or public market. The agora served both economic and political needs, where both goods and ideas were exchanged. Outside of the city walls was an area called the chora. The chora included poor housing and farmlands, areas that could be abandoned in case of an invasion. As a root word, Polis finds many meanings. It is the root of police, politics, metropolis, and policy. It can be found in many cities in the Old World, such as Heliopolis (Egypt) and Persepolis (Iran), but also several modern cities: Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and Annapolis feature the same root word.
