It JUST came out of the womb, the healthiest thing it could come from!" I still refused and bought the rats instead. The guinea pig had fur all over it that was about 3cm long, Certainly NOT newborn!!!!!!! Oh, and they sold me reptile calcium (for all reptiles) insisting it needs about a tablespoon everyday!!!! I bought the stuff but I knew there is no way it needs it EVERY day! I will give him about a teaspoonful down a quails throat every 3 months. I know ppl say they don't need it but I just wanna take extra care of his bones considering he could get DPS. a little bit of extra calcium MAY not make a difference but it won't hurt. I could go on and on about the bull rap the pet stores told me, but I will leave it go, unless u ask me to tell

Honestly Guinea pigs come out fully haired and ready to run. They can also eat solid food from day one. 3 cm is kinda small as a baby gp
i roughly 3 inches long at birth.
