It is a little known fact that guinea pigs like dogs are also trainable. Like dogs, these adorable creatures are playful and cuddly. They are cute animals and they can be an owner’s pride. Though they do not have the same trainable levels as a dog, still they can be trained on their litter habits and not to chew on things. When one brings a guinea pig to the house, there are certain habits of the animal that are not acceptable and need to be changed immediately. For training this pocket pet, one must have the patience, commitment and the urge. The natural behavior of the guinea pig depends on its personality, age, reproductive status and gender.

If you are a guinea pig owner and your guinea pig has reproduced, its time to take certain extra care to make sure those newborns are well taken care of. Since they are so young and weak they are more vulnerable.

To start with you will have to make changes in their cage. Since guinea pig babies have tiny heads, there are chances that may get trapped in between the bars and strangle themselves. Now I am sure that no one wants that for his pet. What can we do to prevent this? The problem sounds huge but the solution is very simple, lining the cage walls with Chloroplast or cardboard from the ground level and up to about one foot. If however you have a grid wire cage then you will have to double the grid walls and lace a cardboard between the two. This will last for about 4-6 months and after that they would large enough and it wonky be necessary anymore
