When you buy a new guinea pig she will be quiet for a couple of days because it is scared. This may last even a couple of weeks. When you hold it, it feels safe in your arms, so it makes different noises. this means that it is happy. Hope this helps!

What can i use to make a guinea pig smell good?

The only thing that you can really do to keep a guinea pig clean is to clean out its cage and bedding very frequently (once a week at least). Bathing rodents can cause injury or death to the animal, and scents such as perfumes contain harmful chemicals. Cedar woodchips produce a great smell for the cage if changed regularly.

What does it mean when a guinea pig sniffs?

Guinea pigs pee and poo is what tends to make the cage smell. So yes, it usually does tend to smell.The odors that make the cage seem and look really dirty is usually the guinea pigs pee and poo.So as long as you clean your cage minimum once a week you shouldn't have too many odor problems. I would recommend using CareFresh Ultra (or the original) bedding and/or Aspen ( used for Bedding and Litter) for the bottom of your cage.

What does it mean when a rabbit tries to mate with a guinea pig?

Rabbits can not mate with guinea pigs. If the rabbit tries to mate with a guinea pig, it means that:They shouldn't live together. Rabbits and guinea pigs shouldn't share a cage because rabbits get easily scared and can accidentally hurt the piggies.Your rabbit could be trying to show dominance but again, give each one its own cage. A rabbit trying to be dominant could hurt the guinea pig.You should separate them when the rabbit mounts the guinea pig. Otherwise, if they get along, they can be together when you're there to supervise, but never when they're alone.


Do guniea pigs get lonely in a cage by there self?

Maybe. Most likely. So, it is best to get two guinea pigs from the same pet shop. But my guinea pig is a little self-centered. That doesn't mean your piggy has this personality too. Some guinea pigs are loners. But either way, it is better to get two guinea pigs. I mean who wouldn't want a furry little play mate to see everyday?! Hope this helped!

Those are probably urine stains which you cannot get out with regular soap and water. Use a vinegar and water solution to scrub them out, then wash the cage again with regular soap and water to remove the vinegar smell.

What does it mean when a baby guinea pig on one side?

Do you mean the guinea pig itself or the guinea pig sticking to one side of the cage. If it self is leaning its body to one side it could be sick or injured so seek medical attention. Or it could just be weak or not strong as the other side of its body or it could be paralysed on one side and thats why it is leaning. If it starts to look sick or looks like it is in pain then thats when you no it is not weak it is probably injured. If it is sticking to one side of the cage it means that it just might of picked a spot to rest or to go to the toilet.
