Guinea Pigs do not spread diseases as Rats do.

Guinea pigs are from the same group of animals as hamsters, rats, gerbils etc. They are rodents.

Buy a new cage becasue then your guinea pig can get worms. Use a GUINEA PIG spray don't use normal guinea pig sprays becasue suprisingly it can hurt a guinea pigs eyes. Give your guinea pig an injection for worms becasue if the guinea pig has been in the cage long becasue this can put a guinea pig in agony. If you don't want to treat your GP then why did you buy an animal you wouldn't risk money for.

the Inca tribe tamed them for food, and they lived with them in there houses and huts

guinea pigs bite them self because they are itchy

SO GIVE THEM A BATH

You can buy a guinea pig from a privet breeder for less, but at a pet store will charge you $40.

Yes. you can get them their for $35.00.

If you have a guinea pig that you keep outside you should keep it in the shade...It should be just fine!

although if you keep your guinea pig inside they prefer to be in temperatures from 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit

i think they mean IN HEAT as in their periods..... if that's what they mean then KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THE OPPOSITE SEX!

source(s) 2 guinea pigs at home named gizmo and alf!

TAKE THE GUINEA PIG TO THE VET. It could be very urgent. The piggy may have a tumor (which can be cancerous) or an abscess. It may also be a fatty lipoma. But don't waste your time reading all of this answer, just GET THAT GUINEA PIG TO THE VET ASAP.

apple and corot salad they love it!!

These symptoms could indicate a serious health issue in your guinea pig, such as an infection or illness. It is crucial to seek immediate veterinary care to properly diagnose and treat the underlying cause. Delaying treatment could worsen your guinea pig's condition.

It ultimately depends on personal preference and lifestyle. Guinea pigs are social animals that require more space and time compared to hamsters. Hamsters are more independent and require less social interaction but are also nocturnal creatures. Both pets can make great companions with proper care and attention.

it may just be a cold like a flu or fever or it can just mean it has food stuck in its teeth but just to be safe pleaz bring it to a vet if you do not it MAY leave Problems so rush there it may just heal by itself

I wish i could help but my baby guinea pig didn't like its mum after 3 weeks because she was sick and died. . . .

White dandruff in guinea pigs can be a sign of dry skin, mites, or fungal infections. It's important to take your guinea pig to a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Regular grooming and providing a balanced diet can help prevent skin issues in the future.

First, buy bedding ( found @ pet store generally shavings) and put it in the bottom of the cage. Remember to clean the shavings out every week so you have a healthy guinea pig! Second, make sure your guinea pig has a nice cage! Next, get a little house to put in the cage! The guinea pig will use that as a bed! After that, get a little water feeder that the guinea pig can drink out of!!! Make sure to replace that water frequently! The next thing is to buy food! Generally if u have a local pet store, u can find all you need there! U can also get some non-necesseties, like a wheel.

If it is a relatively young guinea pig, it is probably the remains of the umbilical cord. When baby guinea pigs are born, the mothers chew through the umbilical cords and sometimes a small portion of the cord remains. It usually dries up and falls off, but there will always be a little bump (sort of like a human belly button) where the cord used to be.

ermmmm depends are they using teeth ! n are they lifting there heads to make them look bigger just watch them as playing usually involves biting the ears n charging at eacother where as fighting is lifting the heads n aming at eachothers necks n i think they make this weird purring noise ....

You can tell your parents that one guinea pig gets very lonely and can become aggressive towards you. That is why you must get another one so that they keep each other company.

1 maybe 2 years if they are lucky.

Most Likely No. I Hear That When Animals Get A Cold, The Sneezing Will Not Go Away But It'll Still Feel Perfectly Fine And Will Be Treated By The Guinea Pig Like It's Just A Normal, Regular Sneeze.

at jamies flea market there is a breeder there, she is really nice and the little fuzzie animals there arnt allways clean ( if there fur is white ) but there cute and nice like she is!

she has hamsters ( if its not cold outside )

guinea pigs

puppies

kittens ( rarely )

chickens

ducks

BUNNIES!

Why this happened- This must have happened because the guinea pig has ate to much and haven't had a drink.

What to do- See a vet ASAP

My guinea pig is a male and according to my book on guinea pigs males have a scent gland just above on their hind quarters you can see a sort of spot or mark (if your guineapig is short haired) and that is the gland (really grossly sticky so don't touch it). Basically he is marking his territory in case you were to introduce a new male to him he could show the new male who's boss!

Hope this helps!!

Guinea pigs have excellent hearing and can hear sounds at a higher frequency than humans. They use their sense of hearing to communicate with each other through various vocalizations such as squeaks, whistles, and purring. Loud noises can startle guinea pigs and may cause them stress, so it's important to keep their environment quiet and peaceful.

Guinea pigs may chew on themselves due to various reasons such as skin irritation, boredom, stress, or mites/parasites. It is important to observe the guinea pig for signs of discomfort, such as redness, inflammation, or hair loss, and seek vet advice if necessary to address the underlying issue. Providing a stimulating environment with appropriate toys and regular grooming can also help prevent excessive self-chewing.

This is what they do, they are very vocal.

Guinea Pigs need Hay and Fruits and Vegetables high in Vitamin C. If you can't get Fruits or Veggies, consider getting flavored Vitamin C pellets made for Guinea Pigs. However, you should definitely try to get them more Vitamin C than just the pellets, because even some of the best ones don't have barely enough Vitamin C to keep Guinea Pigs healthy. Also, HAY IS NECESSARY. I really cannot stress that enough. Hay should make up the bulk of their diet. Guinea Pigs are prone to overeating, because they will chew on and try to eat basically ANYTHING you put in front of them. I recommend giving them 1/2 cup 2 times a day (1/2 in the morning, 1/2 at night) of a blend of veggies, hay, and pellets if you've decided to include them. As with fruit, only give them 1 small piece a day. I hope this answered your question.

south America i belive whatch the vid

It should be compleatly fine- humans kinda do that too....uhg... but if your really worried ask a vet.

*Different person*

If the your guinea pig's wee wee is sticking out, it's probable aroused, which means that it's wee wee is *ahem* erect. Nothing to worry about. All male mammals are just like this.

The piggy may have Ileus. If he doesn't touch his food by himself or you see him pooping or urinating less, go to a vet. However, first try to just make the piggy feel more comfortable. I hope this answers your question.

idk for sure but i know a popular female name is Olivia thats what my old guinea pig's name was RIP Olivia

Guinea pigs were originated in South America.Their scientific name is Cavia Porcellus.They are rodents and not related to Pigs in anyway.

They have about 20 teeths.They have four toes on front feet and three toes on back feet,altogether they have 14 toes.

There are about 25 different breeds of Guinea Pig.Some are short haired,Some are long haired and some don't have fur at all.

They like fruits and vegetables as treats.They need constant supply of hay.They need additional supply of Vitamin C or they will get a disease called scurvy.

They eat their own poops.But,it is not really poops,it is different from their original poops.It is soft and mostly greenish color.It contains Vitamins and they re-digest it.

They are also known as Cavies.They squeaks for food and can make many sounds.

In wild they live in groups in burrows or rocks.As pets too,they should be kept in pairs.

Guinea pigs are herbivores.

If your guinea pig is bleeding, it is important to seek immediate veterinary care. Bleeding could be a sign of injury or illness that requires professional attention to stop the bleeding and properly treat the underlying cause. Make sure to keep your guinea pig comfortable and try to minimize stress during transportation to the vet.

If the cage has wire walls it should stay inside. The reason why you can't just cover up the wire walls is that, even if the cage is spot cleaned daily, the gases from the urine and droppings will build up if the cage is not ventilated and will make the Guinea Pig sick. The cage will need ventilation, and car fumes may get into the cage from the cars in a garage (Which is also bad for your piggy) if there are openings in the cage. I don't recommend keeping it in the garage whether it has wire walls or not, and I personally think it would be best to keep it inside. I hope this answers your question.

My guinea pig's behind gets really wet/damp and smells funky. And yes, that is urine and who knows what. If this is what you mean, then I have a solution:

We trim their hair. Be really careful, and we just used normal household scissors.

Don't cut it too short, but just enough to get rid of the gross stuff.

They look so cute afterwards!

If it is constantly a problem, ask a vet or the pet store for tips.

Male ones are better as there more friendlier.. however you can also cheak on google. =]

No, they eat totally different things, and if they ate each others, they would probably become very ill and die. I know this from experience...

Guinea pigs have no mouth pouch. Try to open the animals mouth to check if food is stuck in a tooth. If you are unable to check take the animal to a vet as this can get much worse. im sure they have a stomach pouch or just putting on weight iin a lump sorry but i thought they had food pouches

A guinea pig shopping list typically includes items like a sturdy cage, bedding, food pellets, hay, vegetables, water bottle, food dish, chew toys, and a hideout for its enclosure. It's important to provide a balanced diet, a safe living environment, and enrichment items for your guinea pig's physical and mental well-being. Remember to also schedule regular vet check-ups and invest in pet insurance for potential medical expenses.

im not sure how long it been but if they have died it can kill your g-pig very quickly so you should probably go see a vet, if its started acting sluggish and sick take it to a vet immediatly

This is unusual. If you have 2 boys that don't know each other this may occur, but maybe he (she) is not fighting. I would go to the vet or a petsmart. My piggy wasn't drinking or so i thought it just so happened that he wasn't thirsty. So give your piggie a day, then go to the vet or pets store.

Tilting of the head in guinea pigs can be a sign of an ear infection, ear mites, or a neurological issue. It is important to consult a veterinarian to determine the underlying cause and start appropriate treatment. Swift action can help prevent further complications and discomfort for the guinea pig.

Well you will notice they are pregnant when theyre bellies grow bigger, but about a week before theyre ready to give labour they start squishing them selves up, so they are round like a dinner plate. Eventually you will notice she is pushing with her front two legs and has her belly and back legs frim on the ground and is making a high pitch kind of noise, shes in labour. She can do all the birth on her own but you should keep an eye out anyway.

Guinea Ecuatorial =Equatorial Guinea

Scurvy is caused by a lack of Vitamin C, so oranges would deffinately help A LOT! I'm not so sure about tomatoes though. Oranges are loaded with Vitamin C, and you can also find Vitamin C Drops at your local pet store (I get mine from PetSmart). I'm no veterenarian, so I think you should check with yours just to make sure this is true! So in my opinion, oranges are the way to go!
