Guinea pig bites are very rare.

If your guinea pig bites you, it may be because you are holding him/her in a uncomfortable position.

If you are holding hin comfortably, check over his body and make sure he hasn 't got any bites/scratches that may be irritating him.

A guinea pig may also bite/nibble if it is hungry and you have a food scent on your hands.

Can a crested guinea pig breed with abyssinian?

Ok, a crested guinea pig and, I'm guessing you are referring to an abyssian guinea pig (not a cat) CAN breed. They are NOT two different species of animals. They are different BREEDS. Both are guinea pigs, so they can breed. Think of a lab (dog) and a dachshund (dog)........they, too, are different BREEDS, but the same SPECIES (dog)......so, they can also breed.

Can guinea pigs eat chocolate?

It is possible, if the dog is "violent" or not taught well, chances of that happening will be greater. For many dogs, it is in their nature to kill a small animal such as guinea pig. A well trained dog will not hurt a guinea pig, particularly if it is a breed meant for herding rather than hunting, such as a border collie. It is unwise, however, to leave the two together unsupervised - just in case.

Will your dog get along with your guinea pig?

A lot of dogs are scared of guinea pigs. I currently have a guinea pig and a Labrador Retriever and they both get along fine. Hope this helps! I have a miniature schnauzer who's best friend is my guinea pig. He is very protective over it, and won't let other dogs near it.


Can you get a guinea pig if you have a dog?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! Guinea pigs get spooked very easily, and this would not be a good idea. BIG DOG: especially no!! if the dog is as big as a lab, don't try it. Your guinea pig will think you set him up and will start to dislike you. guinea pigs are very bright. SMALL DOGS: well, that's a little better. but still, guinea pigs are scared of anything bigger than them. a small dog is about the size of a cat, and believe me, you do not want to go there!

Is it ok to put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant female guinea pig?

When I got my guinea pig, we didn't know she was pregnant, so about a month later, my sister got one that wasn't pregnant. It was a little less that a month after that that my guinea pig had 2 babies. During that time, though, Molly, the pregnant guinea pig, was acting very territorial, and Milly, the non pregnant guinea pig, was staying by herself and not having anything to do with Molly. So make sure that if you put a pregnant guinea pig with a non pregnant guinea pig, that the non pregnant guinea pig is a girl, or else there WILL be trouble.
