Deciding to have an additional pet to adopt for your family can be exciting but also a tedious task to work on as there are a lot of miniatures and extraordinary pets to pick. In addition, you also have to reflect on different things that you will need and learn before raising an animal.
Guinea pigs fall under the same family as hamsters. However, their personalities are quite the opposite. Hamsters are very known to bite or nibble on their human owners. Meanwhile, as for guinea pigs, they are more gentle and tame.
Guinea pigs take joy when their owner spends time playing with them. Guinea pigs also enjoy being carried and held by anyone, even kids, especially if they are not experiencing any stress.
Having this type of pet for your family is a great addition, especially if you have young children who can learn quickly and take responsibility for caring for a guinea pig properly. It is a good start and training ground for your kids planning to begin raising a pet or two. Also, your guinea pig would enjoy having a pair so that they have a partner to play with, especially if you or your kids are not at home to play with them.
If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, contact your pet clinic Tampa, FL.
