Tri-Color Guinea Pig (Cavia Porcellus) - Male and Female Pairs Highlights
- Social & Gentle Companions: Guinea pigs are highly social animals and thrive in pairs or groups. They are known for their gentle nature and are generally not aggressive, making them good pets for many.
- Herbivorous Diet Essentials: Their diet should consist primarily of high-quality timothy hay, fresh vegetables rich in Vitamin C, and a limited amount of guinea pig pellets. Consistent access to hay is crucial for digestion.
- Active & Curious Personalities: These small rodents are active during the day and enjoy exploring their environment. They communicate through a variety of vocalizations, including purrs, wheeks, and chirps.
- Lifespan & Size: With proper care, guinea pigs typically live for 5 to 7 years. They are relatively small animals, usually weighing between 700 to 1200 grams.
- Housing Requirements: They need a spacious cage with a solid floor to prevent foot injuries. The cage should be kept clean and provide hiding places for security.
- Vitamin C Dependency: Guinea pigs cannot produce their own Vitamin C and must obtain it from their diet. A deficiency can lead to scurvy, a serious health issue.
