Guinea Pigs

It is recommended to spot clean your guinea pig's cage daily to remove any droppings or soiled bedding. A thorough cleaning of the entire cage should be done at least once a week to maintain a clean and healthy environment for your guinea pig.

some are just born dead. and sometimes the mother refuses, forgets, is too busy to open the sack. sometimes even if she tries to open the sack it is too late, and she may eat them. mother pigs are very rough when cleaning their babies, they do this to get everything working and will keep doing this until she hears a squeak...

The offspring will have a mix of traits inherited from both parents, as each parent contributes its own set of genes. The offspring may exhibit a variety of features from both parents, including physical characteristics, temperament, and health traits. It's important to consider the genetic background of the parents and study genetics to understand potential outcomes.

if your guinea pig has blood in its wee this probably means she or he has bladder stones and should be taken to the vet urgently.

i hope your guinea pig gets better!

This is what you do. There are two things you can do. One is put some milk into a medicene dropper and put it in their mouths. Or buy another girl hamster(same kind) and take some bedding out of the new mom hamster and rub the baby hamsters in it. Put on of the baby hamsters that was rubbed in the new mom's bedding and put it with the new mom. If the mom doesn't eat it do the same things with rest. Hope this helps!

A guinea pig's runny nose could be a sign of an upper respiratory infection, allergies, or irritants in the environment. It's important to monitor the guinea pig for other symptoms like sneezing, wheezing, or lethargy, and consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.

You should just rub it gently with a towel and put it in a cardboard box with timothy hay in it to dry. I know that timothy hay would make it more dirty, but it actually helps dry the guinea pig. I know, I have one.

Guinea pigs mark their territory by urinating on objects and surfaces to establish their scent and ownership. It is a natural behavior for them and a way to communicate with other guinea pigs in the same area. Additionally, males may also exhibit this behavior during times of dominance or mating.

there are alot of things that guinea pigs hate,but there is a thing that mine hates the most.Bugzy hates when I mess with his nose. He'll always pushes my hand away.But the only reason I do that is because it makes me laugh

Guinea pigs can see a range of colors, but they are believed to be most sensitive to green and blue shades. They have dichromatic vision, meaning they can see a limited spectrum of colors compared to humans. Their vision is best suited for detecting movement and shapes rather than colors.

you guinea pig most likely has diarrhea which is a dangerous condition for them. this website should have all the information you need. please seek promt treatment. http://www.guinealynx.info/diarrhea.html

Guinea pigs are eaten in most Asian and European countries as well as African countries and maybe on some other countries.

Strictly this is possible, but risky. The buck will be more mature sexually, and have his established territory. If you do this, you must supervise at all times , and expect to see the male attempting to dominate the female by chasing or humping her. The female may become stressed, at which point you must remove her. The male could also attack her, or crush her if he is a lot larger. If you sense danger cease the introductions immediately. Rabbits can be introduced to each other slowly, and through the bars or two cages so they can get used to the other's scent. Try placing a few of the doe's toys into the buck's cage so he can get used to the invasion slowly. Alternatively, and preferably, introduce the rabbits in the doe's cage so her scent is already established.

Guinea pigs can be bathed with baby shampoo, but they can't be bathed with other

human shampoos because they could contain ingredients and substances that can

irritate, damage, or dry out a guinea pig's skin.

Guinea pigs can drink from a bowl, but it is generally recommended to provide them with a water bottle as they are less likely to make a mess or tip it over. If using a bowl, make sure it is heavy and stable enough to not be easily tipped. Remember to clean and refill the bowl with fresh water daily.

No, cats do not have a pouch. Only marsupials, such as kangaroos, possums, and koalas, have pouches.

However, cats have a loose flap of skin on their bellies which is often called a Primordial Pouch, Jungle Pouch, Abdominal Fold or Belly Flap. Most domestic cats develop these during maturity. It is thought that it allows extra flexibility when the cat is running, hunting and other activities that require a lot of movement and possibly serves as a protective layer around the belly during fighting.

A guinea pig's water bottle should be changed once a day to ensure it has access to clean and fresh water at all times. This helps prevent the water from becoming contaminated with bacteria or algae that can be harmful to the guinea pig's health.

Guinea pigs can be sensitive to high temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit as they are prone to heatstroke. It is important to keep them in a well-ventilated and cool environment with access to fresh water and shaded areas to help lower their body temperature. Monitoring them closely in hot weather and providing ways for them to cool down, such as frozen water bottles or ceramic tiles, is recommended.

If she nips you out of anger, then that could mean that she's just a bit scared, you should give her some time.

My guinea pig has kind of tried to chew my finger. I think it's because she tastes the salt our body produces, or maybe because she just feels like doing it. If this sounds like yours, then you could get her one of those salt chewing sticks for your guinea pig, it might help.

It is not recommended to house a 6-month-old guinea pig with a younger one, as there may be dominance and aggression issues between the two males. It's best to house them separately to prevent any potential fighting or stress. Consider neutering the older male if you plan to house them together in the future, to reduce aggression.

Guinea pigs are social, curious, and friendly animals. They can be shy at first but often enjoy interaction with their owners once they feel comfortable. Some may be more vocal or active than others, but in general, they make great companions due to their gentle nature.

Never heard of a law like that in any country. It is a good idea because a guinea pigs teeth never stop growing. If they have no toys to chew on, they can not wear their teeth down to be healthy.
