A Few Questions About Guinea Pigs?

Guinea pigs need a hiding place. They are prey animals and its their instinct to hide when scared.

They will not over eat.

Give them an unlimited supply of a grass hay. 1/8 cup of pellets every day. At least 1 cup of veggies every day. Here's a veggies chart

And you should get another female guinea pig. Guinea pigs do better in pairs and she will be happier.

1. Guinea pigs do tend to eat alot

2. i leave my guinea pig food out all day but what you want to do with two meals a day is also ok......always have hay out for them. Fruits like strawberries and apples should be more of a treat about once or twice a week. Guinea pigs do need lots of vitamin c so you should give them vegetables 2-3 times a week.

3.If you dont have a hiding spot for her already you should get one.

4.Its normal for a guinea pig to do this.....My guinea pig still does this

ok first off, leave the food out all day. You need to get them timothy hay if you havent already. Give them an unlimited supply of tha and refell the pellet food every time its empty. Dont worry about them overeating. You do need to get a hiding spot. It wont lead to solitude. They need it because they get scared SOOO easily and you dont want them to have a mini heart attack(im not even joking). They need about a cup of veggies everyday. You can give it to them in increments instead of all at once if you want. My guinea pig used to accidently poo in the bowl but to fix that we got a rabbit feeder that hangs on the side of the cage. it helped, you cant really do anything about that though other than getting a new type of feeder or a smaller bowl. As for calming her down, just pick her up regularly. Let her settle down first, dont pick her up right now. Since you just got her, just put your hand in the cage so she can get familiar with it. In about 3 days or when you think she has warmed up to you, then you can pick her up. I think that covers all of it. If you have any other questions put it in the details and i will answer it soon, hope i helped and good luck!

You sound particularly excited to be getting your guinea pigs :) The cage will likely be particularly excellent for the gp's, however be certain that the gaps within the cage are beautiful small. They are identified to check out and squeeze their means by way of matters, and might get injured if the correct style of fabric isn't used to create the cage. As for the little apartment you made, it sounds excellent, however be certain that the field has no ink printing on it, or some other damaging matters that might harm your gp if eaten. Cardboard is high-quality. My gp adored having little cardboard residences :) And final. As for the gp buddy. I propose that you just get 2 gp's from the equal situation. Somewhere that they have got already had time to regulate to 1 a further. Otherwise, they might grow to be being competitive with one a further. One will attempt to come to be dominant, and so they might grow to be hurting one a further, as a typical intuition. Of path, they are going to do that obviously it doesn't matter what, however could almost always be adequate if they're already tailored to being across the different gp. I could additionally propose double checking with the location that you just get the gp's from. I'm certain they could realize precisely what the exceptional pair could be :) Or probably you might even get a constant gp after which have a female and male, if thats viable? :)
