5 Essential Tips for Caring for Your Guinea Pig

Caring for a guinea pig involves understanding their unique needs and behaviors. This guide offers essential tips that will help you provide the best care for your furry friend. 1. Proper Housing: Ensure your guinea pig has a spacious cage with proper ventilation. A minimum of 7.5 square feet is recommended for a pair of guinea pigs. 2. Balanced Diet: Feed your guinea pig a mix of fresh hay, vegetables, and pellets formulated for guinea pigs. Vitamin C is crucial for their health. 3. Regular Exercise: Allow your guinea pig out-of-cage time in a safe, supervised environment to encourage physical activity and mental stimulation. 4. Social Interaction: Guinea pigs are social animals; consider adopting a companion for your pet to prevent loneliness. 5. Routine Veterinary Care: Regular check-ups with a veterinarian experienced in small animals can help maintain your guinea pig's health.
