Guinea Pig

Product Description:

Guinea Pigs are one of the world's most popular pets. They are inexpensive, undemanding, hardy and sociable creatures.

They make ideal children's pets, although are sometimes nervous but rarely bite or scratch; inquisitive and friendly, Guinea Pigs like to be handled and are very talkative!

Guinea Pigs should be fed a specific guinea pig food in either an extruded nugget or muesli mix with plenty of hay for roughage. Your guinea pig also requires additional Vitamin C in its diet, as like humans they cannot naturally produce their own Vitamin C; supplements should be provided such through either their feed or water.

o Guinea Pigs on average live for 4-8 years.

I bought 2 guinea pigs from pets at home around 6 months ago. Tizzy and Rizo is what I named them. They are very sweet and loving and NEVER bite, but they do scratch a bit because of their long nails. I suggest 3 monthly nail trimming. I do not regret getting them, although, they need to be kept away from cats and dogs.

I have a ginger guinea pig called Gordon. He is such a pretty guinea pig and is very easy to look after.
