Guinea Pig Question???

Question

My guinea pig made a hole under her hay, so nobody knows there's a hole and that she's in it. Why did she dig like a hamster?? Also, how old is she? She's 10oz, and is 5 1/2 in. long.

Answer 1

Have you given her a place to hide? Guinea pigs are prey animals, and they must have hidy holes, so she created her own.

My guinea pigs were about 3 months old when they weighed 10 ounces, but that really doesn't mean anything. Full grown, mine are currently 2lbs, 14oz.  

Answer 2

What is she doing, exactly? Did she just dig a hole?

I really, don't want to tell you this, but right before my piggy passed, he dug a whole and slept in it. If you piggy is still moving around an eating though, than he is still happy, and there would be no need to worry.

Answer 3

As long as your guinea pig is happy and healthy she'll be fine. Just keep an eye on her. Cause ever since i had my guinea pig he was digging. So dont worry about it!! GOOOOD LUCKK!!! :D

By the way i think she may be at least from 2-3 yrs old. [Around there]
