Cavies are typically pretty hardy animals and if they have been well cared for at the pet store then you shouldn’t have too much to worry about. If you don’t have a veterinarian now is the time to find one, and its usually a good idea to find one that specializes in small pets. Be sure to ask any potential vets lots of questions up-front; its better to have those answers ahead of time rather than in an emergency situation.Have a Cage Ready at HomeBefore you bring your new pet guinea pig home you will want to make sure that you have his home all ready for him so that when you get back from the pet store you can transfer him directly into his new home. But let’s talk about the trip from the pet store to home first. Its best to use a small well ventilated kennel-like carrying cage for the trip from the pet store. Cover the cage with a towel or small blanket to help block out strange and loud noises and bright lights, but not his air supply. This will keep him from getting unnecessarily nervous.Your pet cavy’s new cage should be spacious and placed in a good location, away from excessive heat or cold, drafts, and humidity. You should have a food bowl, water bottle with sipper tube, toys, and a cozy little hideaway already set up inside his cage. You should also have bought a supply of good nutritious food, perhaps even the same kind that he had been fed at the pet store, so that he doesn’t suffer any stress from a change in his diet; he’s already going to be a little stressed from the change in environment.Cavy-proof Your HouseAlthough your pet guinea pig will be spending the largest portion of his life inside his cage, you will want to take every possible opportunity to play with him outside his cage. Because of this you will want to make sure that you have “cavy-proofed” your house, or at least the room that you will allow him to run free in. This includes removing any rodent traps or poison from the room or from cabinets in the room. Rodent poisons are just as deadly for cavies as they are for mice and other vermin. Also be sure that there are not any household cleaners or chemicals about.As you will learn cavies love to chew and gnaw on things, and they will chew and gnaw on electrical cords if they are able to get to them. Needless to say if your

Some common household plants are poisonous to your new pet so it’s a good idea to remove all plants from the playroom, even ones that aren’t poisonous, because they may have fertilizer or insecticide that is dangerous to your pet.Remember that your new pet guinea pig is entirely dependent upon you for it’s health and well-being. Preparation is key before you bring your new pet guinea pig home and he will be happy and healthy for years to come.
