Answer
Hey Kayla,

You can teach a Guinea Pig to lay on its back in the crock of your arm, which is handy when bathing and also it looks so cute. You can teach them to dance which is a fairly easy one to teach them. There is also teaching them to come to their own names. And a few more that many Guinea Pig owners have made up and taught it to their Guinea Pigs.

Water is the only drink that is ok for them to drink, as juices have to much sugar in them.

Guinea Pigs that have babies don't need to see the vet right way. A trip to the vets can wait till the babies are about 2 to 3 weeks old, unless you notice that something is wrong.

Good Luck to you and take care,
