Teddy Guinea Pig Physical Characteristics

Teddy guinea pigs are small rodents and are naturally prey to larger animals, including weasels, cats, dogs, and birds of prey. It is important to shield your Teddy guinea pig by keeping it indoors most of the time. Also, if you are an owner of larger household pets, especially one that would naturally view the guinea pig as prey, it is crucial to train them to cohabit with it, or keep them away from the guinea pig entirely.

These large rodents are cute, cuddly, and fun loving, which makes them the perfect pet option for families with children. They prefer spending their time with humans or other guinea pigs, but they can get along fine on their own if they have regular interactions with their family members.Because of the guinea pigs’ prolific nature, some owners might choose to spay or neuter their pigs to keep them from breeding and creating an army of offspring. Teddy guinea pigs like their owners to hold and play with them but too much physical interaction will stress them out. Owners should make sure children are under supervision while handling the pigs. Improper or excessive handling could potentially injure the Teddy guinea pig. Teddy guinea pigs are crepuscular animals, which means that they are usually awake during the day but can also be active at night. They sleep intermittently rather than for extended periods of time like humans. Male and female Teddy guinea pigs reach sexual maturity at three to five weeks of age and four weeks respectively. There is no specific mating season for Teddy guinea pigs. Sows can give birth to litters throughout the year, as many as five times. Their gestation period lasts from 59 to 72 days and they typically give birth to about three pups per litter, but that number can range from one to six. Female Teddy guinea pigs can become pregnant again 6 to 48 hours after giving birth. These animals need a large cage or glass habitat to spend much of their time in and to keep them safe from larger pets and accidents around the house. While they are typically gentle, they are known to nip when they feel cornered or threatened, so they should always be handled with a caring and patient hand. How Much Do Teddy Guinea Pigs Cost?
