Guinea Pigs

They can eat them.

Guinea pigs also like:

-cucumber (especially in the summer)

-parsley

-apples

-dandelion greens

-grass from the yard (unless you use pesticides on yours)

-baby tomatoes

-melon (not too much since it's very watery)

-lettuce (occasionally - NOT ICEBERG)

They are very non fussy!! Guinea pigs very most FAVORITE food is carrots, which are also good for their teeth. You should also feed them orange slices, because the pigs need the Vitamin C.

If your ferret is crying, he/she may be in need of something? Is your ferret allowed out of it's cage at least four hours daily? Are you paying enough attention to your ferret? - Ferrets crave attention from their owner. Is your ferret in pain? - Maybe it's time to visit the veterinarian for a checkup.

Yes. It was called Holly. It was vey stupid and some say it thought the moon was cheese and tried to eat the moon through its space suit. Sadly, it ripped a hole in its suit and died within 15 seconds.

Two guinea pigs can usually live together fine. I have two males, and I have a friend who has two females. They will fight sometimes, but nothing life threatening. They also enjoy the company!

Well I'm thinking he might have some pooping problems or his butt is really itchy!

that once happened to my guinea pig do not take it to vet they make it worse we all agreed just do not pick it up make sure no pigs are being rough with it it will heal maybe month or so

Absolutly right, just home from vet, the right hind foot was sticking out after a fall, vet pulled and pushed his leg, then let him down on the floor and the full leg was hanging behind him and he was in agony, way worse than when I brought him in, vet said he could do NOTHING for him but charged me €39.50 for exactly 4mins of his time, he did'nt even offer a painkiller, I so regret taking the poor fella to the vet, Vet put him through agony simply because he wanted money, my advice is to leave the guinea pig alone, he'll have a much better chance!

Animal bone breaks must be stabilized usually by splinting and taping. With a small animal this is very difficult. The splint must take the load of the animal off the break as it walks. If you leave the hair on the leg it will be almost impossible to remove the tape without spraying the adhesive with ether.

Ether is sprayed on the adhesive to make it stick to rough shaved animal skin. The adhesive on the tape becomes liquid so it will stick to the uneven surface.

You are talking about four to six weeks if the animal recovers at all. If it is painful the animal may refuse to move and eat.

No, guinea pigs should not eat dairy products. Dairy products like cheese, milk, yogurt, and ice cream can all be problematic for guinea pigs. The high fat and lactose content of dairy products can cause digestive problems and other health issues for guinea pigs.

A guinea pig's diet should mainly consist of hay, vegetables and other fresh foods. Some healthy treats for guinea pigs include:

\t
• Fruits
\t
• Leafy greens
\t
• Cooked sweet potatoes
\t
• Carrots
\t
• Small amounts of plain, cooked pasta

It is important to always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new food into your guinea pig's diet.

Yes, I would say that eight weeks is a bit too young to start breeding your guinea pig. I would suggest waiting until your guinea pig is about four months old to start the breeding process. Otherwise, if you start breeding your guinea pig too early, there are multiple complications that could arrise that might affect the health of the mother of fetus(s).

yes, My guinea pig likes banana skin but not banana, and nothing has happened to him!

Anything that has fleas, can give fleas to guinea pigs.

Once a month (regular checkups help spot new diseases on your bunny faster than "once in a blue-moon" checkups), once a few days or so if your bunny needs medicine or is sick or something like that.

Every guinea pig is different. Some live to be 15 others don't even live to 1 year old. It's all about how they got cared for. If you clean it's cage every other day, groom it, give it a bath every so often, and give attention, it will probably live for a long time. It all depends on how it was cared for. And every guinea pig is different. How well a guinea pig is cared for plays a major role in its overall longevity however that is not the only factor. Many guinea pigs become victims to genetic diseases which are not your fault as long as you took it to a vet and it received the best treatment possible. Always keep a hawk eye on your guinea pig's health making sure to check for any sores, abcesses, weight loss, change in behavior, or stool/urine changes daily or as frequently as possible.

All depends on how you feed them ! depends on if there fat or if there skinny i guess you could put it. Im not exactly sure on measurements of a guinea pig, but i do know they will not get as big as a rabbit, or as small as a mouse/hampster.

The predators of guinea pigs are, birds. They do NOT like it when you pick them up, when you stand. I mean, if you walk to their cage standing, they will be afraid thinking you are a bird coming down to get them, so they panic, and run, and squeal. So craw when you walk to their cage, and they should be just fine with you.

it might have an upper respirtory infection... uh oh......

If your guinea pig is old, it may be from old age, just like elderly people limp and lean over. your guinea pig may have arthritis and may have severe pain in its leg. You may have to get the leg checked for any muscle sprain or break in the bone.

I would check the inside of his mouth and his cage for things that he should not be chewing on, or swallowing. Guinea pigs can not vomit at all, so hiccupping would be a sign of abnormal breathing, or a reaction to something in his mouth. Also does he have any other drainage in his lungs or anywhere else that accompanies the hiccups? Hiccups can be from Upper Respiratory Infections, because the drainage restricts normal breathing. If he has any plastic, or wooden toys that he has been chewing on, remove them, and see if that helps, he could be trying to eat material like that. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Any loud sounds like a child screaming or crying a car in the garage or a big bang from droping some thing these sounds will scare you guinea pig and might even give them a heart attack, but most guinea pigs get use to the sounds and they dont freak out as much

Rabbits should always have access to hay* but not just any hay will do. Hays sold for farm animals (horses, cows) often contain legume hays (like alfalfa or clover), and these are not healthy for most adult rabbits. On the other hand, hay sold for pets often sits for months on the store's shelf and isn't fresh and healthy anymore by the time you bring it home. Consider the following guidelines:

Hay should always be fresh: it should be greenish and sweet-smelling, the bag shouldn't be full of dust or little broken bits, and there shouldn't be any mold or rot.

Adult rabbits eat grass hay. Timothy is the most common grass hay but there's also brome, orchard grass, meadow grass, Bermuda grass, etc. Oat hay is also good but it's a little high in carbs, so it shouldn't be the everyday hay but it's fine as a treat. Alfalfa (and other legume hays), however, is not recommended for normal healthy adults because it's so high in protein and carbs that it can make the rabbit sick.

Baby rabbits, pregnant/nursing rabbits, and sometimes underweight/sick rabbits eat alfalfa hay or an alfalfa-grass mix. These rabbits need the extra energy provided by alfalfa.

* Hay is high in fibre, so it keeps the rabbit's digestion healthy; hay is also the exact right kind of fibre that keeps a rabbit's teeth worn down (not all kinds of dietary fibre do this); hay also provides the rabbit with something to graze on, which is important for their mental health and general happiness.

All guinea pigs have poor vision in the first place, but it doesn't matter whether their red eyed or any other colour, they still have the same about vision. But they can still distinguish colours.

Nothing special. They are mammals, and do it just like most mammals. no special sounds, behaviour or similar is involved. if u wanna c what it looks like search it up on Utube....

If you have a male and female and are worried about it, I've heard that you would hear a lot of rustling around.

A great deal because you run the risk of supporting rodent farms.

An ethical breeder or rescue will cost you around the same or less. Typically this is £10 for two gerbils, since you should not kept gerbils alone.
