Guinea Pigs

Trauma to a guinea pig's eye can cause a condition called hyphema, where blood leaks into the eye's anterior chamber. This can make the eye appear white or milky due to the presence of blood. It is important to seek veterinary care if you notice this symptom in your guinea pig.

The average guinea pig e.g. domesticated,labatory, run speeds of about 19.5 mph for long periods of time. Wild guinea pigs can run up to 49 mph top speed, however such sprints only last 8-15 seconds.

It's common for guinea pigs to establish dominance when first introduced. The squealing may be a way for them to communicate and establish their hierarchy. Monitor their behavior for any signs of aggression or injury, but in general, this settling-in phase should pass as they establish a social structure.

To stop a guinea pig from biting, try to determine the cause of the behavior. It could be due to fear, stress, or feeling territorial. Ensure your guinea pig has a comfortable and safe environment, handle them gently, and provide positive reinforcement for good behavior. If the biting continues, consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for further guidance.

In general it probably depends on the size of the dog. But, I did have a friend whose black lab ate their guinea pig.

--------------------

The person above is right, but it really depends on the dog's prey drive. It would be very uncomon for a Golden Retriever to eat a Guinea Pig, but a dog with a high prey drive, such as a Husky, it would be common.

Learn about common diseases to guinea pigs and what the symptoms are. when your guinea pig shows signs of a disease or unusual behavior, find out which disease it most likely has. then go to your local Vetinary Clinic and get some medicine for your guinea pig.

Pigs belong to the scientific order Artiodactyla, which includes even-toed ungulates like goats, deer, and cattle.

A dwarf hamster may be a better choice for a 13-year-old due to their smaller size and lower maintenance requirements compared to guinea pigs. Dwarf hamsters are also more independent and may be easier for a young teenager to care for. However, both animals can make great pets with proper care and attention.

Depends on your guinea pig. Some just don't play, they bite run or squeek. If you have a happy piggy you can play the same kinds of games that cats enjoy. chasing balls, batting (with nose) strings, and so on.

Me and My Piggy have a few games we love to play, One of them is called "Get your Booty" Where I lightly tap her hind end while saying "I'm gonna get your booty!" She usually starts popcorning then comes back for more. But be careful with that game cause not all piggies like it when you touch past their mid-back.

The other game we play is with a beaded bracelet I have, she loves to pull on a bead and make it smack my fingers, she'll do that for hours!

A guinea pig being more sluggish than normal could indicate a health issue such as an infection, dental problems, or a nutritional deficiency. It is recommended to take the guinea pig to a veterinarian for a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

It is not recommended to house dwarf hamsters with guinea pigs. They have different social structures and dietary needs, and may not get along well together. Additionally, guinea pigs are larger than dwarf hamsters and could potentially harm them unintentionally.

Hello,

Guinea pigs are shy at first when they meet humans. Once you spend lots of time with Her, she will be loving towards you. Guinea pigs attach to their owners very easily. A guinea pig that feels safe with the owner may even sleep on their lap. My guinea pig licks my chin and cheeks. When i cry she licks my tears. Guinea pigs are as good of a pet as dogs or cats except that you don't have to take them for a walk.

They should have food and water available to them at all times. You can look up what types of veggies and fruits to feed them and how often, but the water and pellets just always keep them filled. Check the pellets daily to see if they need to be re-filled and change the water daily. Hope this helped you.

Yes. Guinea pigs make all sorts of sounds. Sometimes when you feed them their favorite veggie they will make a sound that sounds alot like a cat purring. Some guinea pigs will also do this when they are being petted. This sound means they are happy. They also make a similar sound with they are displaying to a mate or before they fight. This is called rumblestruting, so make sure you don't get the two confused!

The piggy may have Ileus. If he doesn't touch his food by himself or you see him pooping or urinating less, go to a vet. However, first try to just make the piggy feel more comfortable. I hope this answers your question.

It is not advisable to wait overnight with a baby guinea pig with a broken leg. A broken leg can cause significant pain and distress, and prompt veterinary care is necessary to prevent further complications and ensure proper treatment. Contact an emergency vet if necessary.

Technically yes cause A hamsters a rodent and so is a guinea pig. But A guinea pig is a lot larger then a hamster but if you had a guinea pig and a hamster I suggest you not to put them together.

I think you should get another female because you don't want UNWANTED LITTERS!! Female and female would be less likely to fight. Male and male would be most likely to fight. IF you get female and male, just make sure one of them is spayed or neutered.I don't approve of breeding guinea pigs because it is very hard to find them good homes. Most end up being put down in shelters. YOUR CHOICE

We had a female that we got from a petstore and she came pregnant because she was in a cage with males at the petstore. After the baby was old enough to be separated from it's mother we put it in a separate cage as to not get more babies or cause in-breeding. When he sees the girls in their cage (which is beside his) or out of their cage (when we happen to be holding them at the same time but we don't let them get close to each other) his testicals to get rather large and he tries to go over and "see" them. I guess it's just hormones acting up. Do you keep your guinea pig near a female? Other then that I can't really think of anything else to help you. Is he nutured?

nah female and male mate.

what i did once i had two 2 month old rabbit which fight.

you can do this yourself.

Answer #2

Don't ask me what the first answer is all about. If two month old babies are fighting they are more than likely too crowded and trying to establish dominance and mock breeding. You can not leave rabbits that are fighting together even if you have them neutered/spayed. The reason they are fighting is for territory. Rabbits are very territorial and want and need their own space. They will fight for space.

== == * I would take him to the vet. == == * What type of people would do such a rotten thing to a poor little animal. You should get your guinea pig into the vets and be honest about what happened. The vet is not interested in having your friends arrested if that's what you are worried about. == == * Your pet may have problems unrelated to LSD. Proving LSD caused the behavior would be very difficult, unless you are in the media or public office, then no facts are needed.

Guinea pigs are social animals and thrive best in pairs or groups. It is recommended to introduce a new guinea pig friend slowly and carefully to help them establish a bond. It is important to ensure the new guinea pig is healthy and properly sexed to avoid any territorial or aggressive behavior.

Yes, guinea pigs can make good pets. They are social and friendly animals that enjoy human interaction. They require a proper diet, spacious housing, and regular veterinary care to ensure their well-being.

If your guinea pig is not walking on its foot, it may have an injury or be experiencing pain. It's important to take your guinea pig to a veterinarian who specializes in exotic animals for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment. Avoid touching or manipulating the foot yourself as this may cause further harm.

First of all it's spaying a female but no they do not have to be spayed to be kept in the same cage.

I have to females that are not related at all and I read up and had a towel ready (to throw over them if they started fighting, this would confuse them and give you a chance to safely separate them). Also I rubbed some perfume on both of them so that they would smell similar (read this in a book or online). They have never had a fight except for little spits where they were putting each other in their place and establishing the ranking order (which is normal). They are now best buds. Also just to add that when they met they were both about 2 months old.
