Warning:

- Guinea Pigs are extremely fragile! Be careful whenever there is a risk of falling or having your guinea pig dropped; they can fracture or break a few bones! Always closely supervise your pigs when they are over 1 ft. off the ground, like on your couch or your bed.

- Never let your hands off your pig because they could fall even if the nails are clung to your shirt.

- Never pick a pig up by the shoulders. That's how their legs get broken.

- If you are holding your pig for a long time, try get an old cloth to put under him/her, as you may not want pee on your clothes.
