Are guinea pigs nocturnal ?
No, but basically some species go out to look for food at night, preferring to sit in the day in their hiding place. In search of food, the animal can easily climb up tree trunks and even crawl along the rocks. Guinea pig is one of the most unpretentious pets. This cute and good-natured animal leads a lively lifestyle and eagerly plays with young children.
For adults and children over 6 years of age who do not have the experience of keeping pets, guinea pig is an ideal pet. This small rodent is recommended to start elderly single people or families who do not have conditions for keeping a dog or a cat.
Pigs do not show aggression towards people and are ideal for keeping in a city apartment. Guinea pig, unlike a cat and a dog, can be left at home one for a day or for a day, provided that there is enough water and feed in the cage.
It is not difficult to care for mumps. Even a child of 6-8 years can cope with this. According to observations of psychologists, children, taking care of pets, after growing up, acquire those character traits that are most valued in modern society: responsibility, perseverance and accuracy.
