Your guinea pig needs exercise to keep healthy and happy. Since he spends most of his day in the cage, make it a fun place to be. Add ramps to climb on and tunnels to run through to encourage movement. However, don’t add so many things that it becomes difficult to move around. Your pig will need at least a half hour of exercise time outside the cage daily. Allow him to run around and explore your home. Supervise your guinea pig at all times when he is outside the cage. Protect him from children and pets. Make sure no one accidently kicks him or steps on him. Get down to your guinea pig’s level and play with him. In addition to exercise, this gives him time to socialize and bond with you. Most importantly, have fun.
