  1. yes


  2. Yes.

    Check the source


  3. i would appreciate it if you did not do tests to find  out

  4. Hm....I'm not sure...but I know they don't like water...when I gave my piggies a bath they jumped out of the water on me...they hated it!!  But they probably could..

  5. Yes, they can swim. However, they do NOT like water and are afraid of it.

    Think of it in terms of the relationship between cats and water. Yes, they can swim, but they don't like it.

  6. Ha-Ha

    I doubt it, they would probably just sink, because of all the hair on them...

    I really would not test it out though!

    Haha, Best answer appreciated. xD

  7. Yes, they can! Just make sure that you put them in a VERY shallow kiddie pool that is ROOM TEMPATURE!

  8. Sites I've read  indicate Guinea Pigs can swim, but  avoid putting them in too much water to start. I think I would be very careful testing your friend in water. Maybe get his little feet wet first, just slowly see how he responds. You don't want to scare him and please put in water that is very shallow and don't cover his head in the water (see how he responds first). Also, if you do get your Guinea Pig wet be sure he is completely dry before he goes back to his cage. You don't want to risk getting him sick.

    BTW .. there are some entertaining videos of Guinea Pigs swimming on YouTube. Check them out!

  9. they cant swim, but they LUV water. i hav this special guinea pig bathtub, and once a week i put some non toxic guinea pig soap in it and my little Cookie spends like a half hour in there. and most guinea pigs do love water. they cant swim, tho...kinda sad, rite?

  10. YES THEY CAN.

    THEY DO NOT LIKE IT THOUGH!

    THEY HATE BEING COLD.


  11. no they don't, they r kind of too heavy to hold their own wieght, so when putting them in the tub, u have to put the water just up to their little chin place. or else...byebye piggy!!

  12. put one in some water and find out
