Meerschweinchen · Lebensphasen

Ungefähre Altersspannen für Meerschweinchen und die Schwerpunkte jeder Phase.

  1. 1

    Jungtier

    Geburt – 6 Monate

    Guinea pigs are born furry, eyes open and on the move; in their first months they grow fast and get used to their surroundings. Hay, sources of vitamin C and a guinea pig companion are the foundations of this stage.

  2. 2

    Erwachsen

    6 Monate – 4 Jahre

    Between 6 months and 4 years, a guinea pig's personality settles and daily routines are at their most rewarding. The right diet, plenty of space and regular care keep these years healthy.

  3. 3

    Senior

    ab 4 Jahre

    Guinea pigs are considered seniors from about 4 years of age, and many still enjoy happy years. Easy access, soft flooring, a calm routine and close monitoring make this stage more comfortable.

Die Altersspannen sind Näherungswerte; Unterschiede innerhalb einer Art (etwa die Größe bei Hunden) können die Übergänge verschieben.
