Q&A: What are some great tips for teaching my guinea pig tricks?
Question by Cynical: What are some great tips for teaching my guinea pig tricks?
I have a female guinea pig of around 5 months. I know that males can sometimes be more outgoing and less nervous, so I wanted to mention she was female.
I have done some research on this, but as you probably know it just gives you the basics.
I do know how to train a guinea pig, but am asking because I would like any more advice from guinea pig owners that have done this. Do you guys have any more things I can train my pet to do? Any tips?
Long detailed and step by step answers are appreciated!
Thanks!

guinea pigs aren’t the best animals to train:
they have a short memory span
they aren’t “designed” to do tricks
and most of them don’t want to
but if you still want to go ahead, wait a couple more months untill you guinea pig is a bit older, you need alot of spare time to train them, becuase as i mentioned earlier they have short memory spans but keep going over things and they will remember somethings but guinea pigsc an be stubborn and do what they want so don’t be suprised if they don’t do the tricks.
