Question
HI IM Viviana Garcia AND I WAS WONDERING. MY GUINEA PIG MAKES REALLY LOUD NOISES DURING THE DAY WHAT DOES THAT MEAN... IS SHE SICK OH And WERE CAN I BUY THE NAIL CLIPPINGS  AND SHAMPOO AND WERE CAN I FIND A GOOD VET

Answer
Hi viviana,
If your guinea pig is squeaking during the day she probably just wants some food and attention. TO clip guinea pig nails you can buy the type made for guinea pigs or you can use rabbit nail clippers or for those tough nails you can use your nail clippers my recomendation is to go and buy a pair of clippers at petsmart. For shampoo you can buy some at petsmart as well but you have to make sure it is for small animals or guinea pigs specifically, you could also buy baby shampoo they work the same way. To find a good vet you have to make sure they specialize in exotic pets, make sure they have at least 5 years of experience with exotic animals, and that you and your guinea pig are comfortable with him/her.
Hope this helps
Laura
