When I picked my guinea pig up for the first time i could feel his bones alot is that normal?

Question

i feed him food and timothy hay and treats

Answer 1

hmmm well it depends.

some guinea pugs have a disease which means it can not put on weight, mine has got that but they are still perfectly healthy and can still live for a while and can still eat

Also it could just be that if the guineapig is young then it might not of had the chance to get a bit more weight on so therefore is quite skinny. i would not worry unless it has stopped eating then i would take it to a vet then

hope i helped <3....x

Answer 2

Was he in a cgae with alot of other pigs?  If he was he was probley picked on so he probley got very little food.

If  he wasnt in a cage with alot of them when you got him he probley is mal nurished.

read up on the internet for this. Sorry i cant be of help im just trying to give you a direction to start in.

Answer 4

Some guinea pigs are just more bony then others. Keep feeding him the right food. He should go to the vet for a check up anyway, so bring it up then!
