    Guinea pigs, also known as cavies, are a popular choice for a household pet. These small rodents are native to South America and are known for their friendly and social personalities. They are relatively low-maintenance pets, requiring a cage with bedding, food and water, and regular cleanings.
    Guinea pigs are herbivores, and their diet should consist of hay, vegetables, and pellets. They are also active creatures and benefit from daily exercise and playtime outside of their cage. Guinea pigs have a lifespan of 4-8 years and can make excellent pets for both adults and children.

    They are NOT low maintenance… it took me about an hour to clean their cage one time when they were feeling particularly messy. It also means you will either be washing fleece liners or constantly buying and changing paper bedding. Also lots of hay and veggies.

    • @qtipmotha

      I have mine with a litter tray with wood shavings under hay which takes up a lot of the poo. Another litter tray in the corner with wood shavings where the water is that they pee in. The rest of the cage is fabric pads that I can pick up and shake off in the can. Maybe takes 20min to clean the whole thing

    • @sidedvegetables

      constantly?? do you mean everyday or??? cuz that’s completely unnecessary. you could spot clean 1-2 times a day for about 30 minutes each and then spend 2 hrs on the weekend doing a complete clean out which isn’t that hard. i dont really think they’re that high maintenance just cuz ppl choose for it to be. i will agree that they r expensive but once you buy/make decent fleece liners, it really isnt that expensive compared to a dog. unless your cage is massive and you have like 10 of them, they aren’t extremely high management lmfao

      I have a younger cousin that got rabbits. They got two but later left for vacation leaving food behind for them. One of them died. When I visited and saw the narrow cage, the survivor was sitting in its own poop.. Rabbits need space. Not a 2x3 ft cage. They feed him so many snacks instead of their primary diet which is hay. Rabbits are not beginner pets but the parents thought otherwise. Sigh.

      Had the exact same experience. I got one from a woman who was “experienced” in breeding them. She gave me two males, I ended up with a male and a pregnant female. The babies were adorable and I loved them but not everyone is prepared to have 5 tiny piggies overnight.

      @@monsieur_swiggleton I ended up building a huge c&c cage and giving the first male his own separated suite while the ladies all had a much larger portion. I made sure that they all had the recommended amount of room per piggy. I didn’t want the guy to be alone so he could still see and sniff them but not get to them. They were eventually all comfortable going to the connecting wall and hanging out with him since it was just the wire cage separating them.
      I still felt bad that he couldn’t physically bond with another Guinea pigs though and it was one of the reasons I got them all adopted a few months later. I still miss those squeakers but I made sure they went to happy homes.

    I had 5 piggies and one thing you should know is they are prone to cancer. 3 out of our five had confirmed cancer and 2 passed away from it. 2 others had "possible cancer" and that mixed with them being very old meant it was getting hard to pay for the medical bills. They went to an old piggies home after we found out about the cancer as they would be looked after properly for their lasts days by someone who could afford to. I know it sounds cruel but it was the best thing we could do for them as we couldn't go through any more deaths and it meant they would live out their days with other old piggies. My brothers piggy (yes singular... she doesn't like other guinea pigs... at all.) Also has cancer and may need to be put down if it gets any bigger. IDK if my old piggies are still alive, it's been a long time since they went to their home. I hope they are doing okay. Moral of that story is they can get sick a lot. They get hey poke, bloat, cancer, UTIs and easily get pneumonia (one of our girls had it. It was caught early so she was okay in the end) and vet bills are not cheap. Please if you want to get them then as said please do your research (like you should with any animal)

    "They can be relatively low maintenance"
    Yeah sure, tell that to younger me when I got my guinea pigs. Because not only was only one of them supposed to be mine, my brother who also had one, decides to do jack shit.
    So I not only did I end up taking care of two brother guinea pigs who were filled with energy and me learning from as to what to do, I ended up becoming their father.
    I have to clean the top of where my guinea pigs step on in the cage because of the newspaper I put that's filled with piss and so much shit that you wonder how many more times they shit compared to a human.
    Then, there's the matter of finding creative ways to give them places to hide so they feel protected as they prefer darker spots to remain hidden and away from noise.
    Next up is washing that whole fucking cage once a week which is easy in summer but is a pain in the ass to clean in winter that I want to shoot myself due to how problematic it is for me.
    Then I have to wash my little critters with a certain type of soap, put them in a sort of bathtub or fill a plastic box with water that isn't too small and also making sure they don't try to jump out because they will try to leave whilst you wash them.
    Next, cut their fucking nails. I am always so scared of cutting their nails in fear of cutting a piece that you shouldn't cut otherwise their nails get longer which makes it harder for them to move and they become like Black Panther's claws.
    As for the last part, spending at least an hour with those two which drains me since I either carry them with me together or I just don't come up with shit to do with them.
    I already lost one guinea pig now and his brother is also grieving. I'm still gonna take care of him because I love him. But when he passes on, I'm done with animals. I love animals but I'm not up to dealing with the emotional stress and trauma it does to me.
