Guinea Pigs - week one

Guinea pigs like to eat carrots, apple, parsley but the only thing they are not allowed to eat is rhubarb, they will die. Oranges and Mandarins help with their health.

Guinea pigs come in many colours, brown, black, tan and white. Some guinea pigs are long haired and some are short haired.

You can make a hutch or buy one. They like to have a clean bed or maggots will get in their bed and lay eggs. They eat the flesh of your pet.



Babies are born with fur, they have teeth and eat grass after four minutes. The mothers milk can protect the babies from mites.  
When the mother is pregnant they are fat.
This guinea pig is pregnant.

Some guinea pigs swim.

  1. Hi Ruby, you know an awful lot about guinea pigs. I think that you must be an expert on how to keep them healthy and happy. I really liked how you wrote about what they like to eat, what they need for shelter, colours and babies. Keep up the great work Ruby.

    Star: I like how you have put in what the animals eat and what they are not allowed to eat.
    Wish: I don't think you need a wish.
