Great question! Yes, they see sunlight quite often as we bring them outside to graze on the lawn and garden when the weather is nice. Plus, because their enclosure makes it so easy to access them, we frequently hold them and carry them around throughout our home. In addition, we have a day spectrum florescent light above their enclosure that can also be used to grow plants (we occasionally plant grass and lettuce mixtures directly into a portion of their unique bedding).
Great question! My son, who was four at the time, was fascinated with guinea pigs (he dressed up as a guinea pig for Halloween) and he really wanted to adopt one. After doing some research, we agreed, and originally adopted four guinea pigs (a mother and her three babies) that were looking for a home. We quickly found out that they are not only very sweet pets that are wonderful to interact with, but we also realized we could use their waste as an incredible fertilizer! In addition, we often feed them our fruit and vegetable scraps (like the ends of carrots, or the rinds of watermelon) so they are little kitchen composters too.
Do they never see sunlight?🥺
