Is it possible to own just one guinea pig? How big should the coop be? How can you teach him or her their autograph? Which gender is better womanly or male? Anything else that flawless like name or how long you should play with it

NO guinea pigs can not eat hamster food. Seeded diets are extremely desperate, they have no nutritional good point and can cause choking. Guinea pigs stipulation a PLAIN pellet specifically made for their dietary needs!!

Guinea pigs are herd animals, and should not be housed alone. Same sex pairs, or larger herd are the best.

Guinea pig cage should be atleast 7.5 sq ft per pig. Commercial cages are abusively small, and seriously control activity. The best cage for guinea pigs are C&C.

You can sort of teach them their own name. I think my group responds more towards voice tones than their actual names.

Gender doesn't dictate character in guinea pigs. There's a adjectives misconception that two male guinea pigs cannot peacefully live together. This is untrue, males can live peacefully together within an adequate sized coop. Commercial cages are too cramped and bring out dominance issues.

Guinea pigs should be allowed out within a piggy-proofed area for "floortime" atleast 1/2 an hour a daytime.

Proper guinea pig care is a great deal of work, time, and money. Their care and dietary requirements are extremely different than those of a hamster. In my experience, they're almost more work than a dog.
