Peruvian Guinea Pig

Training

While they are very personable animals, Peruvians are quite intelligent and fun to work with, but their long hair can often trip them up. Be patient and remember not to place them in a position where they will be caught up or become tangled.

Despite being shy, they are very intelligent, so be sure you keep them mentally stimulated with plenty of toy, raw blocks of wood they can chew on, and offer plenty of ways they can get exercise. They are very sensitive to heat and cold, so be sure you keep them in an area that is away from windows and near a consistent form of heat or air-conditioning, without having it blowing on them.
