When I was younger, I had two guinea pigs: Sugar and Cinnamon. Sugar was albino, with red eyes and white hair, while cinnamon was light brown withw hite spots. The two of them were sisters. Guinea pigs are not hard to care for, generally, and require fairly little maintenance. If bedding is used in the cage, it must be cleaned out and changed every few days to allow the guinea pigs a clean place to live. Their water must also be replaced at least once a day, and be put in the cage at an accessible height. Guinea pigs are herbivores, meaning they eat plants. My guinea pigs enjoyed lettuce, carrots, and spinach, but if I put them outside they would be satisfied just eating grass! Because Sugar and Cinnamon were long haired guinea pigs, they required baths once a week. These were difficult because they had to be done in the sink, and they both hated them. The pigs would squeal and squeal until the were released, and they had to be completely dried off before bing put in the cage or else bedding would get stuck in their hair!
