My First Guinea Pig: What Shall I Do

If you are thinking about obtaining your first guinea pig

, here is a primer for your first few days.

Your baby pigs need specialized care. You first and foremost need; to make their areas safe. Start by considering a box rather than a cage as a location to adapt your baby. Boxes are smooth and you will only need it for a couple of weeks. Baby pigs can't climb out and you can leave the top open.

The down side of course is that your new family member cannot see out. But their little heads and feet cannot get stuck in wall mesh and wire floors. Once you have your pet's home, talk softly and feed regularly. Watch your guinea pig squeel with joy shortly.

If the new pet is fearful, soft voice and trying not to hover over her will work wonders. Read below where you can obtain more interesting facts about creating a great home for your pig.

What to feed your guinea pig? That can be inexpensive and easy. Start with some little bits of fresh veggies like cucumber, shavings of carrot and carrot greens. Add apples and other fruits, but not grapes. Once you get a chance you can go to the store and buy some hay. Hay is a great vitamin C enhancement and they love the flavor.

Caging is very important. A cage with a solid bottom is usually preferable but not always available. Make sure the cage is large enough for a house (not too big) and room to run. You can find out more for free at our web site on caging and supplies. It is important to make sure you carefully interact with your friend in the first several weeks so that she becomes comfortable with you and also loving and cuddly.

Guinea pig babies are always welcome additions and wonderful loving creatures. However, they require careful handling in the first few days of they could become afraid and withdraw from humans.
