The Guinea Pig

Guinea pigs are originally from South America. In fact, in countries like Peru, they are part of the daily cuisine. But in many other parts of the world, guinea pigs are pets. They are friendly animals and are not known for biting.
The three types of guinea pigs are smoot-coated, abyssinian (with longer swirls of hair,) and Peruvian (with long and silky hair.) They have a life span of five to seven years. More
Their diet consists of dry food as well as alfalfa (similar to hay). Their diet should always be supplemented with vegetables such as lettuce, carrots and apples. In addition, guinea pigs require something for knawing their teeth because their teeth grow continuously. More
It is very important to clean a guinea pig's cage often because they poop and pee frequently.
Guinea pigs require trips to the vet when you notice signs of coughing or sneezing. They also can get flees and ticks like dogs and cats do. More
This is a picture of my guinea pig. His name is Kenny and he is about 7 months old. This picture was taken a while ago when he was a little skinnier.

I also have a video of Kenny running in my room. You have to wait until six seconds to see him in action.
