Guinea Pigs

I got a guinea pig named Watkins.

Guinea pigs originated from South America. They are members of the rodent family. They live up to 5~8 years with good care. They require 30~50 mg of vitamen C from vegetables and fruit every day. You need to change their water every day. They need to eat Timothy Hay as well.

They're also an important source of food in South America ( which is really scary). It has been a pet since the 16th century, by the Europeans. The name Guinea pig comes from the Latin languge " little pig."

My new pet is very friendly and he likes to eat a lot, and poop a lot!
