Cochon d'Inde · Étapes de vie

Tranches d'âge approximatives pour Cochon d'Inde et les priorités de chaque étape.

  1. 1

    Jeune

    Naissance – 6 mois

    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

    Adulte

    6 mois – 4 ans

    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

    4 ans et plus

    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.

Les tranches d'âge sont approximatives ; les différences au sein d'une espèce (comme la taille chez le chien) peuvent avancer ou retarder les transitions.
