Guinea Pigs

Hamsters are induced ovulators, meaning they do not have regular ovulation cycles like humans. Instead, ovulation in hamsters is triggered by mating or physical interaction with a male hamster. This allows them to remain fertile and reproduce throughout their breeding season.

Guinea pigs can suffer from a number of different illnesses. If your guinea pig is sneezing and has a runny nose they could have a cold or they can be allergic to the bedding you are using. Guinea pigs can suffer from diabetes and it is important to keep them at a healthy weight and not feed them too much sugar. They can also develop cysts or abscesses. Scurvy can be caused if there is not enough vitamin C in their diet. The most common ailment I have seen is dehydration. Alot of times a guinea pig that has been on antibiotics will be lacking the bacteria in their stomach that is needed to digest their food. This will lead to soft stool. The guinea pig will quickly become dehydrated and should be taken to a vet that is a small animal expert immediately. Bene Bac is a tube of the bacteria that needs to be replaced in their belly. The first sign your guinea pig is not well is mucus in the eyes. Also look for eating and pooping habits.

A recommended minimum space for a guinea pig cage is about 7.5 square feet per pig, but more space is always better. Guinea pigs are active animals that need room to move around, exercise, and have separate areas for sleeping, eating, and bathroom needs.

If your hamster's leg is purple and swollen, it could be a sign of a serious injury or infection. It's important to take your hamster to a veterinarian as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Delaying medical attention could lead to further complications or pain for your hamster.

It's NEVER a good idea to wash you're guinea pig because it can easily give them a cold or pneumonia. Although you can buy a certain type of wipes for guinea pigs at a pet store that you can wipe them down with. :) Hope this helps you :) I have had two guinea pigs also and this is what we did. It worked fine :) Make sure they are FOR guinea pigs though. :)

You should Get 2 to 4 but make sure they are either all females or males. but i should warn you Male guinea pigs tend to fight Alot they fight each other.Females just relax and are careful. If you want to get your guinea pig pregnant 1. Put a male and femael together just them to not the rest of the pack.2. Ask a professional how to get them pregantn. They have to be a certain age, in order to be able to. Which I dont what age that is.

HOPE I HELPED ^_^

A fancy hamster, also known as a teddy bear hamster, is a popular breed of hamster that is larger and has a longer coat compared to other types of hamsters. They are known for their friendly and docile nature, making them a popular choice as pets.

Well it depends on the gender of the baby because if the baby is a girl and it is not older than 5 months then I WILL die if it gets pregnant and I am pretty sure you don't want that!

But if the baby is a boy then it is fine because they will not fight even if it not related in anyway and the same thing is with the females!

If your hamster has balls hanging from its bum, it could be a sign of a medical issue such as a rectal prolapse, which requires immediate veterinary attention. It is important to seek veterinary care to properly diagnose and treat the underlying cause.

You can differentiate between a male and female teddy bear hamster by looking at their anatomy. Males have a noticeable scent gland near their belly button, while females have a vaginal opening located near their anus. Another way to determine the sex is by observing their behavior - males tend to be more territorial and may exhibit scent marking behaviors more frequently than females. If unsure, a veterinarian can help to determine the sex of your hamster.

Yes. Just make sure the water is not too cold or hot. When you take her out make sure you do not let her get cold. You can blow dry her with a hair dryer. Make sure again the temperature is not too hot or cold while you do this.

Guinea pigs have big appetites. Its when they dont eat you should be worried. It sounds like your piggy is healthy. well when my guinea pig was pregant she ate alot so it mite be because my pig was only 6-8 months old when she had them. so she mite be pregant

My guinea pig was pregnant toI recently bought my guinea pig from pets mart. I had my guinea pig for 1 week and then one night i went in to say good night and there were three baby's in there with her. Unfortunately for me they were dead. It was unexpected and a total and complete shock. She was only 3 months old!!! LUCKILY though my guinea pig is happy and health to this day. I just tried to push the past out of my mind. If you think your guinea pig is pregnant take her to a vet. And handle her with care, and if possible don't handle her as much if she is pregnant. ALSO don't get your hopes up if she is young and pregnant the chances the babies will live to be healthy and the mom is very not likely but miracles happen hope things turn out for the best, a.m.l

they may have been pregnant or housed with a male before you bought it.

No, not at one week, but they can become pregnant at three weeks old. Mine had that problem she is 12 weeks and is going to give birth any day now ^

they say a guinea pig can get pregnant at 4 weeks old....we also have a guinie pig who we got already pregnant....when a guinia pig has babys u need to split the boys from the girls at 4 weeks as brothers can get there sister or mother pregnant at this age ...they r then pregnant for about 9 / 10 weeks .... and babys will be born with fur and eyes open

They can be pregnant but it is not fair for a baby guinea pig to have to hold up to 8 guinea pigs. There is a very high chance they will die. I had a guinea pig that was pregnant when I got her(she was 14 weeks when she had babies) and she had 2 babies and tey all survived.

It is not recommended to use carpet as bedding for a guinea pig. Carpets can harbor bacteria and be difficult to clean properly, which can lead to health issues for your pet. It is better to use safe bedding options specifically designed for small animals, such as paper-based bedding or aspen shavings.

Yes, hamsters can wear leashes designed specifically for small animals. It's important to use a harness rather than a collar to prevent injury to the hamster's delicate neck. Always supervise your hamster when they are on a leash to ensure their safety.

It is best to handle a guinea pig no more than once a day to prevent stress. They are sensitive creatures and may become anxious if handled too frequently. It's important to monitor their behavior and adjust handling accordingly.

Hamsters with three legs can adapt well and lead happy, healthy lives with some modifications to their environment. They may be slightly slower or have trouble balancing, but with proper care, they can still enjoy a good quality of life. Regular health check-ups are important to ensure they are managing well.

Yes, guinea pigs can eat radishes in moderation. Radishes are a good source of vitamin C and fiber for guinea pigs, but they should only be given as an occasional treat due to their slightly acidic nature which may cause digestive upset if fed in excess. Make sure to wash the radishes thoroughly to remove any pesticides before offering them to your guinea pigs.

There are a whole bunch of answers to this ... (1.) it could of fallen from a high place, (2.) it could of gotten his/her foot stuck in 1 of the bars and tried to get it out and broke it, (or 3.) it might've gotten stuck in the wheel (if you have 1) Hope this helps!

Dwarf hamsters have an average lifespan of 2-3 years.

If your guinea pig is jumping around uncontrollably, it could be a sign of excitement, fear, or stress. Make sure their environment is safe and comfortable, and try to identify any potential sources of stress. If the behavior persists or if you are concerned, it's best to consult with a veterinarian familiar with guinea pig behavior.

They are born ready to eat and drink water on their own. They need to start being weaned at 2 weeks old and fully at 3 weeks old. Males become fully fertile at 3 weeks old and to prevent back breeding, they must be removed.
