Your guinea pig is important to you, and meeting her needs has become one of your top priorities. You know that in the wild, guinea pigs cover a ton of ground each and every day. How can you help her get enough exercise while in the comfort of your home?

Your pet needs you to take the time to offer her plenty of opportunities to get up and moving. This means not only offering her the space to do so within her enclosure, but also outside of it. However, space alone isn’t quite enough to get things on the right track. Your guinea pig needs to be motivated to get moving, and this can be done fairly easily through play. Offer her toys to occupy her in her enclosure, and give her lots of your attention when outside of it. For more information, please contact your local McHenry, IL vet.
