Sugar - Female Guinea Pig (Novato, CA)

Sugar - Female Guinea Pig

Both Sugar and Fizz were purchased at a local pet store but brought here because the kids stopped caring for them. Keep in mind that these girls are young and if well cared for will live to be 5-7 years old. And even though they are small they need daily attention and regular handling to keep them friendly and healthy. They must be adopted together and should have a yearly vet exam. They are both easy to do nail trims on and that should be done about every 4-6 months.Make sure that Sugar and Fizz each have their own hiding box. GP s enjoy chewing on wicker and wooden toys blocks that you can get at pet stores. They also like to chew on toilet paper rolls that can also be stuffed with hay. They do not need treats or salt licks.They will need time outside of their cage every day (inside of course). They need to stretch but more importantly they need to get out for mental stimulation. Find a safe area in your home where they can t get caught behind something or crawl into a small space..like a long hallway or a small bathroom. Put some towels down in case they potty and it ll help with traction.They should be picked up with both hands because they have very delicate spines and bodies. If not held properly or dropped they can easily be injured.Their cage should be at least this big or bigger. It should not be placed near heat or drafts. It must be cleaned every 2-3 days so they stay healthy and it won t get smelly. (See Fizz s write-up for more care feeding information.)
