no guinea pigs are much bigger and only have very short tails and you keep them in big cages and hutches outside like rabbits but gerbils have long tails and are more like rats and mice and you keep them in small cages inside
no, guinea pigs are bigger and gerbils have long tails
Gerbils are a squirrel type animal that is found in America. They are also family of the South African field mouse.
The size of rabbits and guinea pigs really depends on it's species. There are types of rabbits and guinea pigs that only grow a little, while others grow a lot. The things they eat also effects the size of it. Normal guinea pigs;males can be about 19-25 cm. Females are about 18-23 cm. Rabbits can have a big difference.
Yes, some guinea pigs enjoy and eat watermelon, but not all do. Don't feed guinea pigs too much watermelon though, it could cause diarrhea. Tip: When I had a guinea pig, I always took out the seeds so it could not choke. This will be a good idea if your guinea pig is a baby.
Research on a Guinea pigs diet then ask.
Sometimes you can keep a guinea pig and a rabbit together, they usually can be seen together.we have 2 female guineas and a male dwarf rabbit 2gether, although the rabbit has his own cage at night. well yes you can because i have 6 rabbits and have recently had 2 Guinea pigs and we had no spare cages for them so we put the Guinea pigs in with the rabbits and they got along perfect.
You can. Rabbit pellets and guinea pig pellets are essentially the same thing. Guinea pig pellest usually have vitamin C included in their ingredients...which is an essential vitamin for a guinea pig to consume. Other animals, like rabbits, horses etc, make their own vitamin C but guinea pigs don't, so like us, they need to consume it by eating things like apples. My recommendation is that you buy guinea pig pellets; rabbits can eat them as well and you make sure your pig is getting what it needs.
fruit veggies and hay
All breeds of guinea pigs eat the same thing.
Guinea pigs can not eat rabbit food. Just go to a local pet store but don't give a guinea pig food that is also used for rabbits because they have different diets
usually guinea pigs will eat the meat and stop at the skin. same with watermelon
I strongly recommend NOT to feed rabbits and guinea pigs citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines, etc.These fruits will give the rabbit/guinea pig diarrhea.If you still want to give them mandarins, please give it in tiny amounts!:)
Baby Rabbits are born naked and without open eyes.But,baby Guinea Pigs are more developed,they have fur on their body and are born with open eyes. Baby Guinea Pigs can stand on its own feet just after a minute unlike rabbits.Also,baby Guinea Pigs can eat some foods that adult Guinea pigs eat.But,rabbit babies are fully depended on their mother for food.
No, guinea pigs tend to stick to fruits and vegetables.
nothing except their bedding
Guinea pigs!
As an occasional treat, using yogurt drops meant for rabbits should be fine, however you must keep in mind, that guinea pigs require a different diet than rabbits, and you should if able, purchase drops for guinea pigs.
yes. they both eat the same food
no guinea pigs do not eat their young.
