Answer:
First of all you ll need : 0.7 square cm AT least for the size of the cage with a plastic floor. Bedding (carefresh is awesome) (not advertising) Timothy hay (much) Pellets (much) A bowl that your guinea pig can eat... A special bottle for rodents for water... Some veggies (Optional) if you want you can buy a tunnel or a maze (or build it) so your piggies can have fun! A shelter (little wooden home) Now the care: Everyday u should change the water, put timothy hay(24/7), and pellets, guinea pigs can control their feeding and they must have access to food 24/7 (except for veggies. Also you must feed them 1/2 cup of green veggies every day (for the eatable veggies for guinea pigs search it in google) Lastly you should change the bedding every 1-2 days depending on the smell and the amount of poop. On a weekly basis you should do a general cleaning of the cage. put 1/2 white vinegar and 1/2 water in a spray bottle and clean it by takking off the bedding and spraying it all over the cage (including the metal) then wait for it to dry and put the bedding and the other things again in! Every month you should trim their nails and check if they need any medical support.Check their eyes,ears,mouth,butt,hair and legs. 1-2 times a year you should bathe it with baby shamppo or a gentle pet shampoo without weting their head,eyes or ears. Now, when you get the guinea pigs they will be afraid of you! they will probably run in their dark shelter when they see u. For the first days (5-7 days) just stay close to them and speak to them softy without petting or holding them and only touch the cage for cleaning... After that you should put your hand in the cage slowly in the cage with a treat (veggie) and wait until they come and smell or if they are brave eat it... If they do nothing for about 5-7 minutes just leave the veggie and walk off repeat this almost every time u pass from their cage. When they start eat and sniff you should wait about a week repeating the same process !Dont pet them or touch them that time it will probably ruin everything! then the 3rd week or 4th you should pet them softy and gently starting from the head going to the bottom while giving them a treat to eat.. after u see they arent nervous while you pet them and they anjoy it you should try to pick them up.BE CAREFUL dont try to pick them up while they are running only when they are stopped. When you pick them up put them near your chest so they fell safety! Then with a blanket put them on your lap and just read a book or watch t.v do that for about 20 minutes a day! eventually they will get to know you and after some time they will just love you!!!!
