actually a life span of a guinea pig is 6 to 8 years but there can be earlier deaths which is made by sad mistakes like keeping a guinea pig i garage because its cold and just as bad as leaving them out side but it gives them better protection still i have 4 guinea pigs 2 parents and 2 babies i leave them outside during the day and bring them inside at night in a well peppered box if you want to know tips on guinea pigs and more info like life cycle i can help just email me at animal_info@Yahoo.com.au

Guinea pigs don't have a season, they have a cycle. This is called their estracy cycle. The time and duration of this cycle varies from each female guinea pig. At the peak of their cycle, they will be in heat. This feeling makes them want to mate. Females have also been known to mount on other female guinea pigs depending on how much their peak of their cycle affects them.
Male Guinea Pigs are called Boars, female Guinea Pigs are called Sows, and babby Guinea Pigs are called Pups. A group of Guinea Pigs is called a Herd. :)
well.... guinea pigs might not be wild, but wild cavies, simalar to guinea pigs, are wild.
No! Do not give guinea pigs tang!
Females can get as big as male Guinea pigs which can be up to 2-5 pounds
Guinea Pigs like humans cant live forever and eventually will get to the age that something will go wrong, sometimes guinea pigs get illnesses or they are injured, its the cycle of life.
a guinea pigs cycle. this happens every 12 days for 4 hours, as you can not breed you guinea pig when she is not in season. thanks savannah
guinea pigs go into heat, they go through the cycle but do not have a period (bleed).
Guinea pigs have a longer life span
Female guinea pigs go int what we call "heat" they do not bleed but do go through a cycle.
