I just brought a 6 week old teddy bear guinea pig and will be bringing her home in a week... i alredy have a 6month old abbisyan guinea pig and i want tro know how long i should wait to intergrate them and also what do i need t do to care for a baby guinea pig?? she also need a name lol im super excited cuz ima guine pig lover so i wana give her the best home possible Help!
Generally wait around a week or 2 before you introduce them.. just to make sure the new one has nothing bad it could give to the older one.
If you already have a guinea pig you should know how to care for them... babies are the same as adults really. 1 cup of veg per pig a day... unlimited hay.. pellets and water.
Make sure they have a lot of room or they'll fight... clean the whole cage out well and move things around so the older one isn't territorial, consider a C&C cage if you don't have one already they're great :)
I like the name Ruby and Bella for a girl.
Edit: and too the person above, 13 years olds and younger can own any animal they want, aslong as they love it and care for it it isn't your choice, nothing suggests this person is younger than 13 and they do NOT need to be kept appart for months at all.
All you have to do is treat her like your six month old one because as soon as a guinea pig is ready to leave its mother, it is ok to take care of it as of a fully grown adult guinea pig. I hope this information helped. I used to have 3 guinea pigs and I named the mother Pumpkin and the two babies it had Chocolate and Vanilla.
Okay so, you have to separate them for about a few months, maybe 3-5, then remove it and see how they react, if all is good, let them be together for a long time. I really want two guinea pigs, your very luck, but i guess i am too, because i researched them for a very long time, and am convincing my mother! Im so happy for you! When i get my 2 piggies (both girls) i want to name one Josie, maybe you should too! Its a nice name!! P>S> Please spell better in your posts, if you are under 13 years of age, you should not be owning guinea pigs!
