Q: How can I ensure my guinea pig’s cage is comfortable?

A: Choose a spacious cage with plenty of room for exercise and exploration. Provide soft bedding material like hay or fleece. Include hideaways, chew toys, and a clean area for food and water.

Q: Do guinea pigs need companions?

A: Yes, guinea pigs are social animals and thrive with the companionship of another guinea pig. It’s best to keep them in pairs or small groups to prevent loneliness and depression.

Q: How do I groom my guinea pig?
