Diet Guinea pig kibble is available at pet stores. They love alfalfa hay. Make certain that the hay is clean and free of potentially harmful fecal matter, vermin or other debris. Supply plenty of wood chew for the guinea pig to nibble on. In the wild, small animals find or create their own shelter from heat and the other elements.
Caged animals depend on their human friends to provide a safe, healthy environment.
A caged small animal will suffer from dehydration and become ill quickly if exposed to the hot sun. Keep your small animal cage in a room where temperature is controlled, and make certain the cage is kept in the shade if you place the cage outdoors. In addition, keep the cage where other animals cannot frighten or harm your guinea pig. Make certain that water is always available to your small animal. If you have questions concerning the care or grooming of your guinea pig, please email Pet-Tek .
