Preparing your Guinea Pig for Vacation

If you are planning to travel and will be taking your guinea pig, prepare ahead of time by calling the transportation provider to ensure your guinea pig can travel with you. Also, make sure the hotel you will be staying out allows pets like guinea pigs. Note that some hotels will allow pets but not guinea pigs, gerbils or hamsters because they are thought to be of the rodent family and their cages and bedding can cause a bigger mess than what the hotel wants to deal with. If you decide to leave your guinea pig at home, call a neighbor, friend or family member to come and check on your cavy at least once a day. You should pack or leave behind enough food for your cavy, fresh water bottles and food bowls, treats, and instructions if you have a pet sitter.
