Cavies are cute little creatures that love to burrow, play with toys, communicate with fellow cavies and people, and of course eat. They are often one of the more popular pets among families with children and among first time pet owners. Taking care of a cavy can be easy if you know the ‘dos’ and ‘donts’ of cavy care. One of the first things you may learn is what to feed the cavy, how much to feed the cavy, and how often to feed him. You may also learn how to clean the cavy’s cage. If your cavy smells like urine from his cage, then you may need to wipe him down with a pet wipe. Do not give him a bath. Cavies should not have baths as it takes a time for the fur to dry and they can become sick with pneumonia very easily. For more information, consult with your pet clinic San Jose, CA.
