Guinea pigs are soooooo cute, I have one, his name is dusty! So this week I am going to blog about the wonderful Guinea pig. Here's a pic.
This is a Texal Guinea pig, that means they have curly hair. This is what my Piggy looks like, kinda. Just imagine a chunk of white hair on his neck. Guinea Pigs live about 7-9 years and my piggy is 5. He's old and cranky but he loves me! Another name for a Guinea pig is Cavy. In the wild the live in little herds and are VERY social. There ears are very sensitive to loud noises.
The gunea pig is a very social animal and prefer to live in small groups. If you get a guinea pig get at least two. If you are not up to takeing care of two piggies just get one and make sure to give it a lot of atention. For the cage make sure to get a solid bottem cage, no wire for they will heart the cavys feet.
The cavy is very eas to take care of. they are very hardy animals. They rarly get sick. You can feed your cavy fruit and vegitables they can't eat ice bearg lettace. It gives them a tummy ake. My piggy is very cute. He is black and white and has curly hair. He is so adorable and hates my mice. He bit one on the nose once!!
