Each person before buying a pet tries to find out as much information about him as possible. It is important to study in advance all the positive and negative sides of the animal. Everyone knows that a guinea pig is a domestic animal, but not everyone knows how to live with him from the same apartment.
The guinea pig is a medium-sized rodent. Suitable food options:
Cereals.
Vegetables.
Fruits.
Grass (fresh).
The pet can be kept in a cage or a spacious aquarium. It is important to arrange daily walks for the animal, and it is necessary to ensure that it does not run away under the bed or closet (it is problematic to get the animal).
Guinea pigs are cleanliness. But irregular cleaning, which consists in changing the bedding, can lead to an unpleasant odor.
Life expectancy is 6-8 years. This is a fairly good indicator for rodents living at home.
When choosing a pet, many people decide to purchase a rare specimen. At the same time, they do not think at all about the upcoming responsibility that lies ahead. In addition, the cost of the exhibition individual is much higher.
The list of duties of the owner of a rare species:
Participation in various exhibitions.
Choosing a partner for mating.
Joining a special club of breeders.
Animal care, which is carried out daily.
Knitting is carried out only if a suitable pair is available. It is important to understand that when offspring appear, much more time and space will be required to properly care for the animals. Few people like to keep a large number of guinea pigs in the apartment. Animals are highly fertile.
Four types of breeds:
With smooth fur.
With long hair.
Rosette.
Hairless (bald).
A rare specimen with long hair needs daily brushing. The factor must be taken into account when acquiring an individual.
It is completely impossible to entrust the care of a pet to children, adults are required to control this process. Without care, fur quickly falls off and will cause a lot of inconvenience to the pig.
Smooth-haired breeds are more suitable for beginners. They don't require as much maintenance. In addition, this species has a more stable immune system, so various diseases occur quite rarely.
