Food For Thought
Guinea Pigs are very fussy with their food. If they don't like it, they won't eat it. It is very important to give your Guinea Pig what it wants, especially hay to keep their digestive system working ang Guinea Pig mix. Also Guinea Pigs are vegetarians, they eat carrots, cucumbers, strawberries, grapes etc. Also Guinea Pigs FAVOURITE food is grass. Make sure when you give grass to the Guiena Pig, you havn't sprayed the grass with anything like poison because if your Guinea PIg will eat it, she/he will die.
Health Matters
A healthy Guinea Pig is alert, with bright eyes and a good coat. One of the most common health matters that happen to a Guinea Pig is bumble foot. A bumble foot is when the Guinea Pigs foot swells up from bacteria which is caused by dirty bedding.
If you have a long-haired Guinea Pig, it is best if you groom him/her daily because if you don't groom your Guinea Pig his/her fur will get knotted up.
Also if you think that Rabbits and Guinea Pigs are relatives - they most probably are, but never EVER put a Rabbit and a Guinea Pig together because the Rabbit WILL bully the Guinea Pig and that could end in death.

Exercise and Entertainment
Exercise is is the best way for your Guinea Pig to get healthy. If your going to let your Guinea Pig roam around inside OR outside ALWAYS watch what and where your Guinea Pig is going because if you are outside and your not watching your Guinea Pig you never know what your Guinea Pig will do, same thing if you are inside. Make sure all doors are closed and cats and dogs aren't in sight. Guinea Pigs aren't really interested in toys but they do like exploring cardboard boxes and running through tubes or pipes.
