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.
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.
according to experts, ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin are on the list of "safe" antibiotics, so they do not harm the guinea pig.
Well, first of all, guana is the abbreviation of Guiana Island. Now you know what guana means. Second, a pig is a young swine that is not mature for it's age. So a guana pig is a pig that is from Guiana Island. Unless you mean guinea pig. A guinea pig means a small stout-bodied short-eared tailless domesticated rodent often kept as a pet.
Bulldogs are naturally predisposed to have a high prey drive, so there is a risk that they may see a guinea pig as prey. It is not recommended to have bulldogs and guinea pigs together unsupervised, as there is a potential danger to the guinea pig's safety.
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.
I am not sure but i do no that a cat can attack a guinea pig and so can dogs so it is better not to buy a guinea pig if u have a cat or dog.
leave the guinea pig in it's cage if you have the gunea pig out hold it i don't think your dog will eat 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.
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!
Um mm... my guinea pig loves me a lot so yea
it is not just the female guinea pig. all guinea pigs need exersise but never ever get a running wheel for the guinea pig their backs are so sensitive.
Yes I think so my Guinea pig had babies and we don't think she came in contact with a male
Spend time with your guinea pig everyday , etc, grooming, rubbing , ...and so on .
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.
If your guinea pig's tooth chips off,don't worry. Guinea pig's teeth are constantly growing, so your guinea pig's tooth will grow back.
they are so cute
