  1. My guinea pig isn't interested in mirrors at all, so I never bothered to get one. But if he seems to enjoy it, then there's no reason why not. If I were to get one for my pig, I would personally only leave it in the cage during the day (at least to begin with) so I could supervise him. This is only because I know that beta fighting fish will attack a mirror if they see themselves in it...

    I always rotate my pigs furniture anyway so he doesn't get bored in his home. After all, we might like to look in the mirror sometimes, but not ALL the time.


  2. He seems to enjoy that, then- you could try him with one- as long as he cant hurt himself with it.

    Better yet, why not invest in a friend? If he is only young there is no reason why you couldnt introduce another boar- or you could have him desexed and get him a girlfriend. Guinea pigs need the company of other guinea pigs so im sure hed appreciate it!

  3. If he seems to like mirrors I think its a a good idea, but make sure you get it from a pet supply place rather than just put in any old mirror, as guinea pigs are notorius for chewing things so you need to be sure that what you put in there wouldn't harm him if he decided to chew it!

    Just ask at a local pet shop, I am sure they will have something suitable :)

  4. Ohh :(

    You really, really should think about getting him a friend. Guinea pigs are meant to be pack animals and should never be kept on their own. Looking into a mirror probably makes him think there is another guinea pig, which gets him happy and excited.

    Pleaseeee think about getting a friend for him!

  5. Most pet shops recommend plastic mirros for guinea pigs, they are safe and if you are at school or work there perfect for lonely guinea pigs. I dont think you can buy them for guinea pigs but a bird mirror will be ok

  6. aww how sweet yeah defo get a mirror x
