Caring for you Guinea Pig

Caring for you Guinea Pig

Guinea pigs are small and gentle-natured, but lively too, they love being handled, they're inquisitive, they're quite vocal and they rarely bite or scratch. They live for between four and eight years and they're not difficult to look after.

But looking after them properly does mean knowing about the right handling, housing and food - and that's just what this section is all about.

Read it carefully and you'll be ready for the enormous rewards of having a pet guinea pig of your very own.
