I welcomed Snickers, a 4 month old male, into our home over the weekend. I did have a couple questions about overall health of our guinea pig:
1. How often do guinea pigs drink? He doesn't seem to drink a lot of water from the bottle and so I have put down a small bowl which he seems to like more.
2. Can i feed him veggies daily or every other day? Whats the best hay to get him?
3. What types of stimulating things can I provide him? Music? More toys?
4. I am worried that he will miss out on companionship without another guinea pig. But, for right now, my husband and I want to adjust to one and perhaps introduce another male later on.
5. how often should he see a vet? get a bath?
