Top 5 Tips For Choosing A Guinea Pig

      Are you going to be a guinea pig owner soon? Congrats! You got all the supplies, but now you need to get the guinea pigs themselves. But wait. How do you chose the perfect guinea pig for you? You're about to find out, in this post.

    The First Tip: Find the guinea pigs that fits your personality. If you are friendly and energetic, try and look for a guinea pig that's just like you. One that's, maybe popcorning or getting the zoomies. 

    The Second Tip: Find the odd ones out. Find the piggies that are different from the others, like the one that's eating hay instead of pellets or the one that's still sleeping even after the others wake up.

    The Third Tip: Find the friends. Find the two guinea pigs who are sticking together, staying together no matter what. This is good because it lowers the chance of your guinea pigs fighting for dominance once you get them. 

    The Fourth Tip: Find the ones that are healthy. The pet store associate will also check. Look into their eyes, nose and ears. If you can, look into their mouth. Make sure nothing is in them. Do a quick fur check, petting them all over their body. If the guinea pig vibrates, (purrs) it means they don't want to be petted there. If the guinea pig squeals, something might be wrong. Look on and under their feet, too. 

    The Fifth Tip: Get the guinea pig that you want. Not the one someone else does. This is your decision, so make sure to choose wisely.
