Cavia · Levensfasen

Globale leeftijdsgrenzen voor Cavia en de aandachtspunten per fase.

  1. 1

    Jong dier

    Geboorte – 6 maanden

    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

    Volwassen

    6 maanden – 4 jaar

    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 jaar en ouder

    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.

De leeftijdsgrenzen zijn bij benadering; verschillen binnen een soort (zoals grootte bij honden) kunnen de overgangen vervroegen of vertragen.
