Ask A Guinea Pig

Guess what, humans? We're launching a brand new segment on our blog called "Ask A Guinea Pig"
Professor Pig is here to answer your questions
That's right, every week (or so), we're answering your questions about our guinea pig ways. Ever wonder...

  • Why we wheek even after you give us food and attention?
  • Why we like to sniff around during floor time?
  • What's our opinion on the best type of cage toy?
  • What do we think about the portrayal of guinea pigs in the media?
  • Why do we like to pee in inappropriate places?
Here's your chance to ask us about anything you've ever wanted too know about what makes us tick. Just reply to this post with your question and we'll post our answer.

  6. Why do they toss their favorite toys out of the cage? And... how much is the "small portion" you mention in some of your food reviews?

  7. How necessary is the floor time you mention? Every time we take Sugar and Cinnamon out they poo on the carpet. Sorry if we are only supposed to have one question.

  10. I was a lonely rescued pig, and my humans brought me home a friend. Now instead of wheaking like I used to do all the time, I just sit and occasionally rumblestrut. My humans say they miss the wheaking. What should I tell them?

  12. Hi Lola, Buffy, and Broccoli,
    Can you tell me what foods guinea pigs can NOT eat? I think this would be helpful in knowing what I can and can't feed to my piggies. Oh, and can you also include "question foods"? Thank you!

  13. Hi Brandon again, I have a science fair project coming up, I want to do a project with Lil Fuzzy and Grace, do you have any ideas? I don't want to do anything to harm them, and not do anything too complicated. Thank you!

  15. Hi
    This is Wendy and Ashley's Owner speaking
    My guinea pigs are used to me but they freak out whenever I try to take them out of the cage. Why is that?
