Guinea-pigs




Guinea pigs are friendly and easily tamed, but they need commitment and regular attention. Long-haired guinea pigs can be especially difficult to look after.You feed guinea-pigs 2 times a day, with a mixture of meadow hay, green stuff, pellets, washed fruit and vegetables.There favorite food is qcumber.Guinea-pigs live up to 9 years.

Guinea-pigs need...
1.To be brushed every day if they have a long or rough-haired coat.
2.A large weatherproof home kept off the ground, out of direct sunlight and strong winds.
3.Some quiet time alone or with other guinea pigs every day.
4.To be looked after when you are on holiday.
5.A hardwood gnawing block to wear down long teeth.
6.To be taken to a vet if they are ill or injured.

Health
Guinea pigs should be checked regularly for overgrown claws and teeth. Both can be trimmed by a vet. Too much scratching results from skin problems and is often caused by mites or lice. Your vet can provide suitable treatment for these. Long-haired guinea pigs in particular may suffer from the potentially fatal disease flystrike, caused by flies laying eggs in soiled fur. Make sure the guinea pigs' home is cleaned every day and bedding changed regularly.
