How to Care for Guinea Pigs During the Holidays?

  • Guinea pigs are very afraid of loud bangs and noises.
  • Make sure to draw the curtains, lower the blinds, and keep windows closed.
  • Guinea pigs especially love hiding places. During the holiday season, this is even more important!
  • Keep the radio or TV on to help “mask” the loud noises during the busiest hours of celebration.
  • Give them an extra-large portion of hay and food!
  • If you are celebrating at home and there will be a lot going on, make sure the animals are not in the center of the activity. 

These tips also apply to other small pets.
