Question
i got a baby guinea pig that is like 3 weeks old and it still calls for his mom is that normal? what can i do to keep him entertained? is he to young to be rehomed? sorry for so many questions.. thank you

Answer
Hi Jaclyn

Your pig is too young to be away from the family unit really. Babies shouldnt really be re-homed until 6 weeks of age. It is therefore quite normal that he should be missing his mother.

In terms of entertaining him, please check out the link below for some great ideas, althogh some of them should perhaps wait till he's a few weeks older.
