Guinea pigs make wonderful, adorable pets for many families, including those with children. It’s important to understand the basic care needs of these critters, though, before you jump in to guinea pig ownership.
Your guinea pig will need a sizable cage that’s able to fit a food and water area, hiding huts, toys, and any other cage accessories you want to include. The bottom of the cage must be solid—that’s where your pig’s wood-shaving bedding material will go. You’ll need to scoop out the bedding on a regular basis to replace it with fresh bedding, since your guinea pig uses the bathroom in their bedding material.
Your pig will eat a commercial pellet diet, plenty of timothy hay, and a selection of fresh fruits and veggies. Ask your vet for more insight into your pig’s dietary needs. The staff of your veterinary clinic Savannah, GA is here to help at every stage of your guinea pig’s life. Don’t hesitate to call!
