Cavy Care: Is A Guinea Pig Right For You? 2<\/p>\n
Choosing Your New Guinea Pig<\/p>\n
When you go to the store to get a guinea pig, it is always a good idea
\nto look at them carefully and choose them by their personality. Each
\nguinea pig has his or her own unique personality, much as a dog or cat
\ndoes.<\/p>\n
Some are more reserved in nature, while others are more outgoing.
\nWatch how they interact with each other, and with you.<\/p>\n
If you are choosing a guinea pig for your child, you will want to make sure
\nthat your guinea pig can tolerate being held and petted often. Guinea pigs
\nare not known to be aggressive or to bite, but your child will have no
\nfun with a shy guinea pig who wants to do nothing but eat and sleep
\nall day.<\/p>\n
Guinea pigs are social animals, and they enjoy the company
\nof other guinea pigs. If you are planning to get a guinea pig, you
\nmight want to consider getting two guinea pigs at the same time.<\/p>\n
Male guinea pigs get along quite well with each other when you get
\nthem when they are babies. However, adult male guinea pigs will fight
\nwith each other if you introduce them after they are grown. Female
\nguinea pigs can also get along well with each other.<\/p>\n
It is not recommended that you get a male and a female, unless you
\nwant to breed guinea pigs, in which case, be prepared for a lot of
\nfurry friends!<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
