Guinea Pig Knowledge Base
Introduction
Guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) are small, sociable rodents known for their adorable squeaks and fluffy coats. They originate from the Andes and have been domesticated for centuries. Mine are very cute.
Fun Facts
- Guinea pigs have four toes on their front feet but only three on their back feet.
- They cannot produce Vitamin C on their own, so they require it in their diet.
- A happy guinea pig may perform a move called "popcorning," which involves jumping in the air with excitement.
Feeding Schedule
We generally feed a variety of bok choy, capsicum, cos lettuce, celery leafs, zucchini, parsley, coriander. It's great for them to have branches to nibble on- ask Anne and Randall for some hazelnut branches.
Dangerous Food
Guinea pigs are not allowed alliums (onions, garlic, etc.), avocado, rhubarb, or iceberg lettuce.Morning Feeding:
1/2 cup of vegetables per guinea pig.
We have trained them to respond to "pigs!", "handsies", and "yip yip!". Basically anything high-pitched and loud, or plastic rustling will set them off. They love being fed through the cage bars.
Evening Feeding:
- Ideally between 5:30 - 6:30PM
- Amount: 1/2 cup of vegetables per guinea pig
Bedtime Feeding:
- 1 scoop of dry pellets per guinea pig
Cleaning Routine
We generally do this just before going to bed.
Downstairs Area:
Sweep out poops daily
Clean and refill water bottle as needed
Upstairs Area:
class GuineaPig {
name: string;
age: number;
constructor(name: string, age: number) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
squeak(): void {
console.log(`${this.name} says: Squeak squeak!`);
}
}
const peggy = new GuineaPig("Peggy", 2);
peggy.squeak();using System;
class GuineaPig {
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public GuineaPig(string name, int age) {
Name = name;
Age = age;
}
public void Squeak() {
Console.WriteLine($"{Name} says: Squeak squeak!");
}
}
class Program {
static void Main() {
GuineaPig hildy = new GuineaPig("Hildy", 2);
hildy.Squeak();
}
