Keeping guinea pigs healthy
Weighing, teeth, claws.
Weigh regularly
Guinea pigs often only show illness late. Weigh them about once a week. If one loses weight, have it examined.
Teeth
The teeth grow constantly. Drooling or poor eating can point to dental problems.
Claws
The claws often get too long and need trimming regularly. Ask your vet to show you how.
Warning signs
Puffed-up fur, withdrawing, diarrhoea or noisy breathing are warning signs. Then see the vet soon.
In shortWeigh weekly and react quickly to changes.
