Latte would be very happy to see so many friends in this petting zoo. So many kawaii guinea pigs!
Now that Latte's been with us quite a while, he's starting to regconise who feeds him and who scares him. Apparently, he's afraid of my dad. The loud opening and locking of the doors, who doesn't? Whenever I pass by the cage, Latte will wheek out loud. Nice. I'll chat with him and he'll respond with nods and shakes.
He's happy whenever my sister arrives home too because his hiding place will be cleared of poo. He's still running away whenever I'm trying to stroke him despite him calling for my attention. Ironic, huh?
Time to provide some notes on taking care of guinea pigs. Here is a list of things on providing care such as questions on how to handle guinea pigs and asking yourself if you are the right person to own one. Guinea pigs are social animals and will need daily interaction. That I'm trying spend half an hour with Latte everyday.
If you have the space, let the cavy run around the house with some supervision. Electric cables and other things that can be nibbled upon must be kept away from the floors. You don't want to harm them in any way.
Guinea pigs don't smell (generally) unless you don't clean the cage regularly. I've to clean the cage soon. I don't want any smell other than the hay I'm giving daily. Here are the steps to clean the cage. The advantage of using grids and coroplasts is that it is easy to clean.
Be aware that some people may have allergies due to the allergen existing in the urine in the bedding. When the guinea pig scurries around, the proteins exposed will become airborne. If possible, get a family member who doesn't suffer from it to clean the cage. It would be best to clean the cage outside of the house. Always wash the hands and any part of the body that had come into contact with your piggie.
Take regular weight checks on the cavy because the change in weight will inform you of their medical conditions. Regular vet check ups would benefit them in the long run.
