If not long ago we talked about ferrets<\/a><\/strong>, we can’t forget about other furry critters that make great pets: guinea pigs<\/strong>. They are rodents about twenty centimeters long and weigh from 800 grams to 1 kilo. These animals are gregarious, so it is convenient to have more than one, but, in case you cannot, you must have time to attend to the social needs<\/strong> of the guinea pig.<\/p>\n

What does a guinea pig eat?<\/h2>\n

The guinea pig’s diet consists basically of fiber and vitamin C.<\/strong> Fiber will be obtained through forage such as hay<\/a><\/strong> and vitamins from fruits and vegetables<\/strong> such as apples, carrots or lettuce. It should be ingested daily. We can also offer feed for guinea pigs, which already comes with a vitamin C reinforcement. The water should be changed every day and preferably distilled water<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
