Your guinea pig should have an appropriate cage or hutch (available from pet stores) to spend his/her own time in. It can live inside or outside, as long as it is comfortable and safe. However, if you live in a region with cold seasons, the pig should be brought indoors during the winter. Guinea pigs are social animals and love companionship, but this works best when the guinea pigs have grown up together so it can really understand you. If you have more than one, keep them in same sex groups to avoid breeding, and make sure there is a hiding place for each so they can have solitude when they choose; otherwise they may try to fight each other to assert dominance (male-male), or reproduce (male-female). Good features to look for in a guinea pig cage include: Large size (a minimum of eight square feet of floor space)  Wooden construction with solid flooring (no wire bottoms or any other strings like hair) Separate running and sleeping areas Protection from the weather (if outdoors) Bedding: straw or hay is best, and fluffy materials should be avoided for safety reasons, as guinea pigs may eat their bedding. Earthenware or stainless steel bowls that clip to the cage or hutch (for food and water) A door that can be opened so that the guinea pig can enter the run area without being picked up (optional) Guinea pigs have sensitive hearing, so they’ll be most comfortable in a place that is free from major sources of noise (such as traffic, loud televisions, and rambunctious play). Keeping things especially quiet for the first few days that your guinea pig is home might help it adjust. You can also cover your guinea pig’s cage or hutch with a light cloth for the first few days. This may help it feel more secure and peaceful. On the first day you bring your guinea pig home, don’t bother it by trying to play or cuddle—just silently check on it now and then to make sure that it is okay. Guinea pigs have to build trust in you, as they are prey animals in nature. Giving yours some time alone at first will help it get used to its new home. If you have young children, make sure they understand that the guinea pig needs some alone time at first. Having a regular supply of food will keep your guinea pig healthy and happy. If you feed it regularly (try doing so twice a day), it will associate your sounds with food and comfort. You should ask your vet or pet supply store for food suggestions, but generally your guinea pig should eat:  Hay Guinea pig mix Fruits and vegetables (for vitamin C): melons, oranges, spinach, broccoli, kale, and cabbage; no lettuce. At first, guinea pigs are unlikely to eat in front of you. To make sure that yours is eating and healthy, just check its food and water dishes in the morning. If your guinea pig has eaten, you will see that these supplies have been depleted. Some guinea pigs might not eat or drink much or at all during the first day or two in a new home. If it has been several days and you are sure that yours is not eating, however, contact your veterinarian.
