Hi!

You probably already know who this is, but I’ll just say it anyway…. it’s Jess. Anyway, I’m going to post on how to take care of your pet guinea pig if you’re just starting off. First of all I would really like to say that guinea pigs are-out of all the rodents(hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, bunny rabbits, mice, rats)-the most compatible to humans. In fact, their life span is one of the longest also. They don’t need much space, but you should still get a cage that is a good enough size for your guinea pig to adopt to easily and to make itself at home there. Also, if you want to keep your guinea pig and it’s cage clean, I would suggest to clean it’s litter at least every once in a while. For a bedding, you could just use some simple cut up pieces of newspaper or maybe I guess an old sock that you don’t want anymore. The bedding should be big enough for your guinea pig and also, it would me nice to give it a little house to go in or some toys. Usually, for feeding, guinea pigs just need to be fed about once or twice a day. They will eat guinea pig pellets-you can buy them at pet stores-or just little shredded pieces of  lettuce. If you overfeed your guinea pig, and your guinea pig starts looking a bit sick, you should probably hold back on the feeding for a little while. Plus, you can let your guinea pig run around in your room for a bit if it looks like it needs exercise, or if you just want to let it play and run around for a bit. But make sure to always close your room door, and when you put your guinea pig in it’s cage again, don’t forget to close the cage door, because if the cage door is reachable for your guinea pig, they can climb out.

I might be talking more about this later to give more information, don’t worry!
