What is the basic care of one guinea pig?

Guinea Pig care… HELP!!?

I just got 2 guinea pigs from my dads friend… I’m not sure how old they are but they are 2 girls.
They’ve been here for a few hours and their under a plastic cave in their cage scrunched up and wont leave. They "wheeked" a few times and I’m not sure if I should open the cage and touch them or just let them be…

Any tips or advice to make them feel as comfortable as possible??!?!

Help me with my guinea pig care please?

Hey everyone, i recently got a guinea pig and I am a total beginner of raising guinea pigs! So far she is escaping and behaving strangely its okay coz i know its normal im giving her all the space she needs to get acquainted, anywho it has been a week and a few days since ive got her, her name is sneakers…
First of all she starts purring and then squeeling when i brush her fur in the opposite direction, first of all i thought she was purring out of happiness but then i realized she was annoyed so i stopped… Anyways i have saw a bit of improvement but not much she still freezes in my hand and even when i put her on the floor she doesnt walk she jst looks around (btw she is a 1 month old baby) is it normal for her?
Now i got her today some hay i think its timothy hay or somewhat kind but she doesnt seem to touch them she jst lays them on the floor and sleeps on top of them. What should i do?
Third, since we r having a huge heat wave im changing her water with cold one around 4 times a day and before i sleep but i want to make a drip bottle since in my country Guinea pigs r rare to find can someone gimme an idea of the mechanism of the dripping bottle so maybe i can make one from available materials?
I know you are bored of these questions but hey, im a guy and im not used to these kind of pets yet but i have grown attached to her and im caring for her good enough but i have these questions for you guys
any help is appreciate it
i thank u for giving me ur time and ur knowledge
Guys i forgot to mention that she eats her veggies normally but the hay she doesnt eat them yet, she loves her lettuce but i give her a wide variety and an occational small piece of apple once a month coz its not that good for them

Best book to learn everything about horses.?

I know a little about horses. Ive been taking riding lessons since October. My mom had a horse so she told me a little things too and I got a horse vet book.

So If you know a book that tells a lot about horse, please tell me what the title and author is.
And I don’t want a little kid book but I’m 15 so no super hard book either.

Also I would like one on Potbelly pigs. Which I don’t know anything about really.
One main thing I want to learn about horses is the different kinds.

Is a Guinea Pig or Rabbit harder to care for?

I’m 13 and can be mature at times :) haha. Lol, I’ve been doing research on rabbit for a few months and read they’re not to hard to care for. Is this true?I’ve always liked rabbits more than guinea pigs but don’t know how hard they’re to care for. My mom owned a guinea pig when I was very young and said it was horrible. Some people say guinea pigs love cuddling while others say they are timid and shy even if you play with them….

So in your opinion or personal experience which is harder to care for?!

Thanks! :)
Add:::; I would litter train the rabbit so pooping and peeing everywhere wouldn’t be a huge issue :)
Lol, and the rabbit itself does not smell. It is their urine which smells. If you clean the litter out everyday/other day it doesn’t smell as bad.

MOther Guinea Pig Won't Take Care of Babies?

OK, my guinea pig Misty just had two more guinea pigs, the first time she had three. We thought our other guinea pig was a girl… Now Misty won’t take care of her newborns? There’s nothing wrong with them, she keeps kicking them out of this castle thing we have in their cage. How do we help Josh and Zac if she won’t take care of them?
ok u second person, u disgust me! why would you kill a small animal! they don’t need their mother to survive if you take care of them like their mother, the thing is, I don’t know what I should give them!
OK Plz help 4 real!
As it turns out, the other guinea pig is the mother so thnk u all anyways! I’ll still pick a best answer though.
