Perfect Pets: Ginny Pigs
Guinea Pigs or ginny pigs are little animals that belong in the rodent family. About ten inches in length, they are stout little creatures with barely visible tails. They are very social animals, and love to be with their fellow ginny pigs. They are ideal pets with about five to seven years life span.
In handling ginny pigs, you should always keep in mind that they prefer a roomier location; therefore a big cage is required for them. Use paper in preparing their beddings, as deep as until about three inches. Avoid using pine shavings and cedar, since there are chemicals that are not good for the rodents.
Placing their cages in the proper place is also important. Keep them in a place where temperature ranges from sixty five to seventy five degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid placing them in a very hot place, since they are very prone to having a heat stroke. Maintain good temperature and environment conditions and avoid letting them stay in a humid place, to avoid making them weak.
Ginny pigs love attention, as they are very social animals. They would feel very happy around human beings, therefore placing them in a place where people would be all the time, such as the living room, would be a nice location.
Lastly, ginny pigs are sensitive creatures that get scared easily. It is best if you keep them away from other animals that may see them as a prey. Pet and play with them all the time, to keep them relaxed especially towards you. Most of all never miss in feeding them at the proper time, for them to maintain a peaceful interaction with their fellow cage mates. With all these in mind, you may finally try raising your own rodents and enjoy a wonderful master-pet relationship together!
