Cavy Care: Is A Guinea Pig Right For You? 1

If you are thinking about getting a pet for your home, you might want
to consider a guinea pig.

Guinea pigs, also called cavies, are lovable furry little creatures
that will bring you and your family a lot of joy.

Guinea pigs can be a perfect first pet for children because they are
easy to care for and more cuddly than a hamster, which can be bad tempered at
times, or a fish.

Here is some more information to help you determine whether a guinea
pig is the right pet for you.

If you are thinking about getting a pet for your home, you may at first
consider a dog or cat. These animals are perfect for homes if you have
a lot of time to dedicate to owning a pet. Dogs and cats need a lot of
attention and a lot of space.

Guinea pigs, on the other hand, are just as cute as dogs and cats, and
they do not require nearly as much space or care.

Many people love the idea of guinea pigs as first pets for children
because they live a lot longer than hamsters or gerbils, and are less
bad tempered and prone to bite.

In fact, a well-cared for guinea pig can live up to eight or nine
years. Once you own a guinea pig, you will be hooked by this cute,
sweet-natured creature.
