Guinea Pig Trivia 

Did you know...?

 

  • Guinea pigs are very susceptible to cold, draughts and damp. They should only be bathed if it's absolutely necessary.

  • Guinea pigs have been traced back to the Incas in the 16th century. The Peruvians kept them for food. They were first introduced to Europe from South America, by sailors, who were the first people to keep them as pets.

  • Like humans, guinea pigs are unable to generate their own Vitamin C. It is therefore imortant that they recieve suffcient Vitamin C from their diet.

  • Unlike most other rodents, guinea pigs have some degree of colour vision.
