I like to live with other guinea pigs, either of the same sex or neutered so we don’t have babies!
It is better that I don’t live with rabbits, we need different foods and could catch diseases from each other.
I like special guinea pig food mix, hay and small pieces of vegetables and fruit.
My teeth grow all the time, so I need hard food chew to wear them down.
I need a safe run to exercise in.
Remove any old food from my hutch each day as well as dirty bedding.
Make sure that my hutch is secure as I am frightened of foxes and other animals that may harm me.
Make sure that I get used to being handled by doing it gently and safely.
I make a lot of noises - when I’m happy I purr and shudder!
Check me over regularly and if you are worried about me, ask an adult to take me to the vet.
