Book excerpt: Overview of Guinea Pigs: Comprehending Their Requirements and Conduct Cavies, another name for guinea pigs, are common household pets around the world because of their cute appearance and amiable nature. But in order to properly care for these tiny animals, one must comprehend their special requirements and habits. Overview Originating in South America's Andes mountains, guinea pigs have been domesticated for centuries. They are great companions for both individuals and families because of their gregarious disposition and minimal upkeep needs. Knowing their unique needs and behaviors is crucial to ensuring their well-being. Physical attributes With proper care, some guinea pigs can live longer than the average lifespan of 5 to 7 years, weighing between 1.5 and 2.5 pounds. They are available in solid, agouti, and roan coat colors and patterns. Their round bodies and prominent eyes also add to their alluring appeal. Requirements for Housing A good home is essential to the wellbeing and health of guinea pigs. It is essential to have a large cage with plenty of space for exercise and exploration. For one guinea pig, the cage should ideally have a minimum area of 7.5 square feet, plus extra room for each additional cavy. Furthermore, bedding materials like fleece or paper-based liners contribute to comfort and cleanliness.
