How to Make Your Guinea Pig Happy!

1

Make toys for your guinea pig - you can use cardboard boxes,or even toilet paper rolls!

2

Add a second guinea pig! Guinea pigs are very social animals, so if you are gone for a good majority of the time another guinea pig will keep the other happy!

3

Give your guinea pig lots of love! Cuddle with him often and make sure he knows that you love him.

4

Give your guinea pig soft bedding so it doesn't hurt his feet. Guinea pigs do not like to be in pain (They have very delicate feet). If its possible, start using fleece instead of bedding. It's cheaper, prettier, and doesn't smell as long as you wash it once a week.

5

Give your guinea pig floor time daily. Occasionally take him outside, but make sure that he/she does not eat anything. It could possibly be poisonous. Also keep an eye out for predatory birds.

6

Make him special treats. Homemade are best, but make sure it is guinea pig friendly ingredients (no iceberg lettuce!) You can cut up his favorite veggies and thread them together, making a kabob you can hang on the side of his cage.

And give them LOTS of love!!!
