Your Guinea Pig's Playtime

broken image

Your guinea pig needs to both socialize with you and exercise regularly. To add movement, give your guinea pig things to climb on and tunnel through in his cage. Your guinea pig also needs daily play outside his cage. Always supervise your guinea pig while outside the cage. Encourage him to run around but keep him safe. Protect your guinea pig from accidental kicking, falling or attacks from other pets. Keep him from nibbling on electrical wires or toxic plants. Consider letting your guinea pig climb on you or set up a maze to run through. You could entice your pig to search for treats hidden throughout your home. Never put your guinea pig in a hamster ball even if it appears large enough for him. These balls are too stressing to your guinea pig’s spine. Exercise wheels have the same issues by putting too much curve on the spine. Learn more from your best veterinarians Santa Rosa, CA.
