no. they are not dogs. you cannot take them for walks. they will get too tired and hate being in big open areas.

if you are wanting to use it while your piggy is on the grass, so it cant run away. it probably will find a way out and... there goes your piggy! your better off building a small area for them to play in out doors, like a small pen with plenty of shade etc.

guinea pigs are not dogs.

The answer above is wrong. Guinea pigs love open spaces to run in. They are very energetic. I'm sure your guinea pig will love going for walks as much as mine does. However, if your not walking it and your just in the yard then you should get a play pen.

How can you get your guinea pig to walk on the lead?

To train your guinea pig to walk on a lead, start by getting them comfortable wearing a harness indoors. Use treats to help create positive associations with the harness. Once your guinea pig is comfortable, slowly introduce the lead and practice indoors before moving to outdoor walks in a safe, enclosed area. Remember to always supervise your guinea pig while they are on the lead.


Is a harness bad for a Guinea Pig?

Don't put the rodent in a harness it will try to get out of it like a cat trying to get out of its collar. The guinea pig doesn't need a harness and its body isn't right for a harness. If you have to ask then it is obviously not safe you should never buy something that you think might hurt your pet!! They might end up hurt if you take them for walks on a leash so don't do that and carry it around if you have to.

no i wouldn't put a collar on a guinea pig because..(toys and cage bars) can get caught and the guinea pig could strangle but putting on a harnnes is a tottaly different thing its when you take your guinea pig out for a walk but they lead you if you pull they could die of suffecation and when you are finnished with the walk you should take it of when putting them back in the cage and 1 thing you should seriously know with harness and collars don't lead them in the streets because they can easily slip out of them
