  1. I heard between the ages of 7-14


  2. they usually live anywhere from 8-12 years.

  3. in good conditions from 8-14 years


  4. 3-8 years

  5. my friend has one and i think i recall her saying they live for about fifteen  years but im not certain.

  6. I'm afraid she's due dead in two weeks.

  7. I've never heard of a guinea pig living past 10...or even 9.

    Generally, 5-8 years is typical, but obviously care and health problems play a big part. Some pigs are just unhealthy, due to poor breeding and whatnot, and don't live that long. Others get lucky and live quite a while.


  8. The guinea pig life span is, sadly, about 5.5 years; . These animals are alert and may learn to perform a lot of tricks, so they are easy to train. Some individuals have been known to live for about 12 years. But generally an average life expectancy for the animals that are kept as pets is about 7-10 years. These animals have to be fed twice a day; they should eat every day in the morning and in the evening. If you want your animal to be healthy, you should provide it with the fiber, vitamins and minerals they require. Daily supply of fresh hay and fresh clean water is a vital necessity.

  9. i have had five! one died at four and the other had a tumer and died at 3 . i have one now thats 4 and still spunky and another less than a year .but it bepends on the condisions it lives in is it an outside guinea pig or inside .they can live up to 4-8 years i think.

  10. Guinea Pigs live between the ages of 4 and 8
