Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: My First Guinea Pig: What Shall I Do

Contemplating a first guinea pig? Concerned
about what you need to know in those first few
days? Don't worry; this article will give you the
answers you need to know.

Your baby pigs need specialized care. You first
and foremost need; to make their areas safe.
Start by considering a box rather than a cage as
a location to adapt your baby. Boxes have no
trapping like wire mesh, and are smooth so they
do well for the first couple of weeks. Baby Pigs
are not able to climb, so don't worry about them
climbing out.

The down side of course is that your new family
member cannot see out. But their little heads
and feet cannot get stuck in wall mesh and wire
floors. Once you have your pet's home, talk
softly and feed regularly. Watch your guinea pig
squeel with joy shortly.

If the new pet is fearful, soft voice and trying
not to hover over her will work wonders. Read
below where you can obtain more interesting facts
about creating a great home for your pig.

What to feed your guinea pig? This is a lot
cheaper and easier. Start with some little bits
of fresh veggies like cucumber, shavings of
carrot and carrot greens. Add apples and other
fruits, but not grapes. Hay is easy to buy at
any pet store and is cheap and useful. Hay is a
great vitamin C enhancement and they love the
flavor.

Caging is very important. A cage with a solid
bottom is usually preferable but not always
available. Make sure the cage is large enough
for a house (not too big) and room to run. You
can find out more for free at our web site on
caging and supplies. During the first few days,
be gentle, slow and deliberate. Do not rush your
guinea pig into liking you. Get to know him or
her and then they will be cuddly and loving
always to you.

Guinea pig babies are always welcome additions
and wonderful loving creatures. However, they
require careful handling in the first few days of
they could become afraid and withdraw from humans.

Lastly, what will you name your guinea pig. We
have a helping hand there. Look at our vast

guinea pig Daisy becasue that is the favorite
flower of my wife. What will you name your

pig as much as we did, once we knew what we were
doing.
