2. Provide a variety of toys. Guinea pigs are curious animals that love to play. Offer your guinea pig a variety of toys, such as chew toys, tunnels, balls, and hideouts. This will help keep it entertained and stimulated.
3. Feed your guinea pig a healthy diet. Guinea pigs are herbivores and their diet should consist mainly of hay. Fresh vegetables and fruits should also be offered daily. Avoid giving your guinea pig processed foods, sweets, or anything high in fat.
4. Provide a clean and comfortable home. Guinea pigs need a cage that is at least 24 inches by 18 inches with plenty of space to run and play. The cage should have a variety of bedding, such as hay, paper bedding, or fleece. The cage should also be cleaned regularly to prevent the buildup of bacteria.
5. Take your guinea pig to the vet for regular checkups. This is important to ensure that your guinea pig is healthy and to catch any problems early on.
