how to care for a gunea pig

                             how to care for a guinea pig

In the first couple of weeks of purchasing a guinea pig get them used to the surroundings by not moving them that often. I also recommend not being all in their face because they will be scared for having a massive change in their life.

Feed your guinea pig 2-3 times a day. in the morning feed your them guinea pig cereal. Then mid-day feed them fresh grass but make sure its not cut with a lawn mower. Finally give them a handful of kale(or spinach or lettuce) and half a carrot/small chunk of cucumber.


Don't wash your guinea pig that often, once or twice a year is enough because it makes there skin dry. when it is time to wash them place them in the sink and cup warm water with your hands and slowly clean them. You can purchase shampoo to clean them. Once they are clean you dry them slowly with a towel or use a hair dryer from a long distance.
