Guinea Pigs

! We have 2 male Himalayan guinea pigs we got from a breeder in Pittsburgh, PA. I don't know where you live, whether it is close to Pittsburgh (a convenient pick up for you). In any case, the breeder's name is Jodie and I can give her your number if you are interested. We are also driving to Louisville, KY during Thanksgiving and can deliver one/two if you live closer to this city. Jodie has some nice piggies- a lot of personality.

If you mean the type of plastic igloo that you buy in pet-shops to put in cages then , yes they do. Guinea pigs love to have a small private place to sleep at night. You don't have to buy one of these though, guinea pigs would be just as happy with a cardboard box that they could chew on , you'd have to change it every week , or else it would get soggy and disgusting.

Guinea pigs can make a variety of sounds, such as chirping, which is often a sign of excitement or happiness. It's a natural vocalization for some guinea pigs and is typically nothing to worry about. If your guinea pig seems otherwise healthy and is displaying normal behavior, there's likely no cause for concern.

Guinee pigs enjoy a good variety of fresh fruit and vegetables to supplement fresh hay , grass and pelats . They enjoy a fresh carrot daily , tomatoes, cucumber , broccoli , apples , grapes that are seedless of course , peppers of any colour and oranges to boost their vitamin c .

it takes time you have to put the boy in the same cage as the girl wait about a week or 2 so they can get used to each other and the boy can get used to the cage then they will mate and it should be fine x

It is ideal to wait until baby guinea pigs are 2-3 days old before handling them to allow them to bond with their mother and get used to their environment. Guinea pigs are delicate when they are young, so handling them too soon can cause stress and potentially harm them. Always remember to handle young guinea pigs gently and supervise any interactions with them.

Guinea pigs should stop getting pregnant around 6-8 months of age to prevent health risks associated with breeding too often. After this age, it is recommended to spay or neuter them to prevent unwanted pregnancies and improve their overall well-being.

Get her a girl companion. OR a *fixed* boy companion. Once you have a girl and a boy, you can never add another boy. You can have multiple girls, or multiple girls with one boy. OR multiple boys, as long as each addition is added as a baby, not yet at puberty. But if there is ever one or more girls, you can't have more than one boy, no matter what. Even in even numbers, the boys will fight over the girls.

Yes. Guinea pigs can eat pretty much everything that hamsters eat. They can eat the Hamster pellets to, although they might not get all the nutrients that they need. But make sure your guinea pig always has fresh water, hay, and pellets. You should give them fresh vegetables daily to.

Bacon is typically made from the belly of pigs, so breeds commonly used include Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire, and Berkshire. These breeds are known for their meat quality, marbling, and flavor, which make them ideal choices for bacon production.

It is not typically necessary to go to the hospital if a guinea pig bites you, as their bites usually do not cause serious injury. However, it is important to clean the wound thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and monitor for signs of infection such as redness, swelling, or pus. If you develop signs of infection or if the bite is deep, seek medical attention.

As mammals elephants are multicellular. There is millions of different cells required to perform daily tasks.

There is some vitamin c in the dry food, but it might not be enough. You can buy vitamin drops for water at pet stores, make sure to follow directions.

You should feed it fruits and veggies with vitamin C in them. They have lists of the ones you should use on here if you read through the Q&A enough. I don't know from experience but I have heard that the drops change the taste in the water and makes them stop drinking it, which isn't good because they need lots of water. But some have said too that its good. I would go with the pellets, veggies and fruits. Good luck.

Well they are both part of the rodent family but they have many differences like the guinea pig is bigger, less flexible, guinea pigs are not supposed to run in wheels or balls cause of their spine is not supposed to bend that way, they have different nutrients that they require so their food is different, i know that guinea pigs can see colours (not sure about hamsters). there is much more things but I am out of what i can immediately think of.

Yes, guinea pigs can eat mint in moderation. Mint can provide some health benefits, such as aiding digestion and adding variety to their diet. However, be sure to introduce it gradually to avoid digestive issues and only offer it as an occasional treat due to its potentially high calcium content.

Well there are a number of reasons 1. Do you have 2 Guenia Pigs? If so watch carefully over the next few weeks and see if the other Guenia Pig is ripping its hair out , This is called Barbering , you should get your Guiena pig something to play with if this is the case . 2. Your Guenia pig might have mites (Fleas) , if you suspect this see your local vet. 3. Is your Guenia pig stressed? This could also be a cause.

no way! but they can howver dye if they are treated like a toy, not fed enough, not have enough water, timothy hay, or their cage is not a being cleaned on regular bases. go to the website:guineapigsclub.com for more helpful tips!

Yes, a veterinarian can perform an ultrasound or X-ray to confirm if a female guinea pig is pregnant. It is not possible to accurately diagnose pregnancy in guinea pigs through physical examination alone.

Guinea pigs hum to communicate with each other, showing contentment or excitement. It is a way for them to express their feelings and can be a sign that they are feeling happy or comfortable in their environment.

It needs to be big enough for the guinea to have room don't cram it in there with lots of accessories just make sure it has enough space to move around. now if u have more than one guinea I'd get one bigger than 30'' in length (;

It is not recommended to clean a guinea pig with Olay body soap as it may contain ingredients that are too harsh for their sensitive skin. It is best to use a specially formulated small animal shampoo or consult a veterinarian for advice on appropriate grooming products for guinea pigs.

Your guinea pig could have an active bladder. Strange but true, another reason is, if you have 2 guinea pigs, it's there sign of their affection to one another. They squirt pee to clean each other's eyes or other body parts to clean it. Eeew! Hope this helped! BTW, visit www.kornage.com.uk/ Best guinea pig site ever! Thanks! I'm one of their #1 fans!

This purring noice occurs when you pet a guinea pig too rough, and like you said, when loud noices such as the telephone or the dog barking startle it. It is basically just a noice it makes when it is startled.
