Guinea Pig Basics
Guinea pigs, also called cavies, are sociable little animals that need daily time with people to be happy and healthy. Here’s what to know before you bring a pair home.
- Lifespan
- Usually 4 to 7 years.
- Diet
- About 80% hay, with fresh hay always on offer. Pellets once a day (an eighth to a quarter of a cup each) and fresh veg twice a day.
- Water
- Clean water at all times, from a drip bottle.
- Vitamin C
- They can’t make their own, so it has to come from their food or a supplement.
- Temperature
- 18 to 23°C is ideal. Keep them warm once it drops to around 15°C.
- Avoid
- Iceberg lettuce, potato, onion, garlic and mushrooms.
