Can you get sick from your guinea pig?

All living things carry "germs," including people. Bacteria live in our mouths and digestive system and on our skin. Guinea pigs don't carry diseases any more than other domesticated animals and probably a lot less. Guinea pigs normally don't carry any diseases that can be transmitted to humans except in rare circumstances and a vet should be able to tell you if that particular guinea pig is sick. Handling them or buying one as a pet should be perfectly safe.


Is there a test to tell if a female guinea pig is pregnant?

How can you tell your guinea pig is sick?

Well there are a few ways to tell if your pig is sick. One way is if your pig does not eat or drink. If they don't make any noises like usual, or if they shake and shiver (they may not be just cold). When your pig has a runny nose, it is okay for a few days but if the "sniffles" continue for a week or so, then he or she needs to be taken to the doctor. also you can tell if they lose and gain weight constantly, or shed more than normal. one bad sign is if your pig starts to get a lot of "gunk" in their eyes, that won't go away.

Can guinea pigs have powerade?

No. Guinea Pigs can not have powerade. The only drink that guinea pigs are allowed to have is water. Any other drinks (especially Powerade, Gatorade, ...etc...) could potentially make them sick and/or kill them. I would highly recommend getting the book "Guinea Pigs (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) " which can be found at your local PetSmart or Petco. It will tell you all about keeping your Guinea Pig safe and healthy.
