Hello, My guinea pig Sweetpea doesn't seem to be drinking as much water as she should be, she is eating well, asking for treats, playful (popcorning) and being silly but I noticed she's not drinking much water. What might I try to promote drinking h
Thank you for using PetCoach, Jill! Guinea pigs typically don't drink much water and tend to make a mess of any water dishes placed in their cage. You can make sure Sweetpea stays hydrated by offering her treats such as carrots, cucumbers, and melon. As long as Sweetpea is urinating, defecating, and acting normally, you should not need to be overly concerned. I hope all is well!

What will make a Guinea pig healthy
Guinea pigs are fun, fairly easy pets to own. Clean water daily, lots of Timothy hay, limited guinea pig pellets, vitamin C supplement are important. Guinea pigs also have sensitive respiratory tracts, so changing their cage several times a week to keep the urine smell (ammonia levels) down is also important. Some daily exercise out of the cage is also great! I hope this was helpful!

I have a guinea pig Violet, she has this thing where she likes flip her food bowl over. Even when it's full of food, and she'll make a loud cry for more food. Why does she do this? Is there a way to stop her from doing it?
Sounds like Violet does not like that particular food. You may want to closely examine her food for fungus, mites or excessive dust (sometimes food you buy can be old or infected with mites). Try a new box. Also feed her some fresh greens, a piece of apple, tomato, cucumber, and some nice clean dust free hay. If none of this works, then that is just a quirk. Guinea pigs are not like dogs, so it is not possible to teach her not to flip the bowl over. You might have to make a little permanent frame in the cage that you can put the bowl in and which cannot be turned over by her.

Hello I just brought home my guinea pigs two of them and they were restless through the travel and after I put them in the cage they have not moved around eaten or drank anything from 9.30 pm after they came home.I really am very worried as this is
I am sorry to haer about your concern for your guinea pigs. They can be nervous creatures at first and are probably a big scared in their new surroundings. I would put them in the quietest room of your house with the door shut and lights out and give them some time. Provide them with plenty of hay, fresh water, pellets, and perhaps a treat of a carrot or apple slice and just give them a bit of time!

My Guinea pig came from a bad home. How can I help her feel more safe? How do I play with her? What does she need in order to be healthy?
Congratulations on your new pet! To help Chanel feel safe, you can move slowly around her. First just standing near her cage, then placing your hand in the cage without touching her, and then gently petting her before attempting to pick her up. Guinea pigs are curious and like to play with toys and burrow in tunnels. In order to be healthy, Chanel should have plenty of water and hay avaiyat all times. She should have a ration of pellets everyday and can have some green leafy veggies and fruits as an occasional treat. You should monitor her for signs of diarrhea, skin issues, loss of appetite and energy and have her seen by a vet if any of these occur.
