Porquinho-da-índia · Fases da vida

Intervalos de idade aproximados para Porquinho-da-índia e as prioridades de cada fase.

  1. 1

    Fase jovem

    Nascimento – 6 meses

    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

    Adulto

    6 meses – 4 anos

    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

    Sénior

    4 anos ou mais

    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.

Os intervalos de idade são aproximados; as diferenças dentro de uma espécie (como o tamanho nos cães) podem antecipar ou atrasar as transições.
