Question

Answer 1

males are way better. they are very shy though but they are really chubby and cute and adorable you should go to petco they have the best guineapigs ever and they know lots about them.

Answer 2

Full grown Guinea Pigs reach a length of 25-36 cm. The head is broad and short and the body is compact with no tail. The Guinea Pig is a sociable pet appreciating the company of others and is active during the day. Guinea Pigs are good natured and rarely bite making them an ideal pet and today they are the most popular small pet in many countries. Males (boars) tend to be larger than females (sows) and the average lifespan is 4-7 years although up to 10 years has been known.

Guinea Pigs should be handled with care. They have delicate bones and if dropped would cause them an injury. However Guinea Pigs are not like smaller animals such as Hamsters because they are much bigger you can hold them with confidence. I feel Guinea Pig&#039;s shouldn&#039;t be handled by small children. However if the adult holds the Guinea Pig then guides the child&#039;s hand to stroke him gently the Piggy shouldn&#039;t come to any harm.

Guinea Pigs like humans do not produce Vitamin C and need to be given it daily to ensure good health. Lack of vitamin C will cause scurvy. To maintain a good diet each Guinea Pig should be given 10mgs of vitamin C per day to 1kg body weight.

Answer 3

They are great food for my reticulated python, much more fatning then a rat. Hopes this helps.

Answer 4

You cannot give Guinea Pigs penicillin, it is fatal &amp; did you know if you pick a Guinea Pig up by its tail, its eyes will fall out?

Answer 5

the babies are born with their eyes open and all their fur and can be running around in minutes

they love fruit and veg aswell as the bagged piggie food, and i dont think there is much different but i always like the males better - they seem to have more character

i had like eight of them - they bred really fast - and kept the 6 females in one cage and two males in another, all they all got on fine!

they prefer to be kept in pairs or groups rather than alone

just thought i&#039;d share with you my last born baby guinea pig when he&#039;s all grown up ^.^  called Kaiser : http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk282...
