Guinea Pig Age Tool

Understanding the lifecycle of these social and vocal cavies.

Life in the Cavy Lane

Guinea pigs typically live between 5 to 8 years. They are considered fully grown adults at around 6 months to 1 year of age.

Social Aging

Because they are highly social animals, their mental and physical well-being are closely linked. A guinea pig that lives with companions and has a balanced diet (rich in Vitamin C) will often age more gracefully.
