Your guinea pig needs lots of exercise to keep him healthy and happy especially since pigs are prone to obesity. Since your guinea pig spends most of his life in his cage, you need to make it a fun place to be. Give your pig ramps to climb on and tunnels to run through. Don’t make the ramps too steep or your pig could injure his back. Some pigs enjoy pushing balls around the cage. However, don’t add so many items that it makes it difficult to move around freely. Plan on at least a half hour exercise session outside the cage daily. Let your guinea pig explore your home and run around. Protect him from falls. Always supervise your guinea pig while he is outside the cage. Guinea pig wheels and balls are not recommended since the angle is too severe for your pigs back.
