Guinea Pigs Pet Care brought to you by Doolittle's Pet Stores... Caring for your Guinea Pig If you are looking for the perfect pet for a small child or for someone that has not kept pets before, then at DOOLITTLE'S we think the guinea pig is just what you are looking for. Guinea pigs are native to South America and were probably first domesticated by the now extinct Incas, they were kept not as pets but for food. Guinea pigs are still found wild in the grasslands and mountains of Peru, Argentina and Uruguay. They were introduced to Europe in the early sixteenth century possibly by the Dutch and were quite rare and valuable. Nobody knows quite how the Guinea pig got its name - it squeals like a small pig and perhaps it was first sold for one guinea, or was it the fact that the ships sailed to Europe from Guiana on the South American coast and as so often happens, words get changed. Guinea pigs are rodents, their closest relative is not the rat, but the porcupine!

Feeding twice a day, with a mixture of meadow hay, green stuff, pellets, washed fruit and vegetables. A constant supply of fresh, clean drinking water in a drip-feed bottle with a metal spout. A large weatherproof home kept off the ground, out of direct sunlight and strong winds. It should be moved to an indoor area or porch in cold weather. A separate sleeping area for each animal inside the home. A clean layer of peat or wood chippings on the floor of their home and plenty of soft hay for bedding and burrowing.

Pet Care Tips: Guinea Pig Care and Feeding Looking for a pet that's gentle and loveable but doesn't require the run of the house? Then you may want to consider a guinea pig. Guinea pigs are one of several small, domesticated mammal species commonly known as "pocket pets." In 1996, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about 583,000 U.S. households kept at least one guinea pig as a pet. While we're not sure how they got their name, guinea pigs have been bred for more than 400 years. They descend from wild porcupine-like rodents of South America and are called "cavies" (a shortened form of their Latin name) by many breeders and owners. A guinea pig's claim to fame is that it is the only domestic rodent with no tail. Behavior Guinea pigs rarely bite or scratch, but they can be messy-scattering food, water and bedding all over their cages. Their vocabulary includes about nine sounds, from whistling to purring to squealing. They are most active at dusk and dawn, but easily adjust to the routine of your household. Guinea pigs can be fun to watch. They like to explore new settings, but if scared, they'll either freeze or scatter in different directions. Choosing your new pet Before welcoming Piggy into your home, it's a good idea to read up on guinea pigs and their care. Also, find a veterinarian in your area who is comfortable treating guinea pigs; not all of them are.

Care of Guinea Pigs last update 11/12/99 Index General Information Veterinary Medical Problems Pneumonia Handling and Restraint ... Vital Statistics General Guinea pigs are hystricomorph rodents (related to chinchillas and porcupines) that originated from the Andes Mountains region of South America. They were probably first domesticated by the Indians of Peru, who used them for food and as sacrificial offerings to their gods. In the 16th century Dutch explorers introduced guinea pigs to Europe, and selective breeding and captive rearing began in earnest. Guinea pigs are very popular pets because of their availability, docile temperaments, tendency not to bite or scratch when handled, and relatively clean habits. They are not long-lived, which can be disconcerting to owners (especially children). Many parents, however, believe that having their children experience the relatively short period of companionship and subsequent death is a meaningful way to expose children to the "ups and downs" of life. In their natural habitat, guinea pigs live in open, grassy areas. They seek shelter in naturally protected areas or burrows deserted by other animals. Guinea pigs are sociable animals and tend to live in groups. They are strictly herbivorous (plant-eating) and do most of their foraging for grasses, roots, fruits and seeds in the late afternoon and early evening.

About Us Field Projects How You Can Help Publications ... How to Care for Guinea Pigs How to Care for Guinea Pigs A descendant of the wild guinea pigs of South America, today's domesticated guinea pig is viewed by many as an "easy" pet for children. Many parents select a guinea pig as a first pet for their child, believing a small pet needs only a small amount of care. It is important to understand that these little guys have lots of requirements, including a roomy cage, specialized diet, daily cleanup, and gentle handling, and that an adult should be the primary caretaker. 1. Make Room at the Inn They may be small, but guinea pigs require ample space to move about. Make sure their living quarters are at least 18 inches wide, 14 inches high, and 25 inches deep. Guinea pigs housed in larger cages are more likely to be active. Do not use aquariums, as they provide poor ventilation, and mesh or wire-floor cages hurt guinea pigs' tender feet. Remember also to provide plenty of high-quality hay, which these rodents use for nesting and snacking. Do not use materials such as sawdust, cedar chips, or fabrics that may cause respiratory or other health problems. Finally, provide your guinea pig with a gnawing log (such as an untreated fruit tree branch), tunnels to crawl through, and platforms to climb on. Add a heavy food bowl resistant to tipping and gnawing and a water bottle with a sipper tube. 2. Get a Little Closer
