Tips for Naming Your Guinea Pig

Most guinea pigs live about 4 to 8 years. When you name a guinea pig, think about that name lasting over that time. For example, if your child likes the name Pua from the movie “Moana” now, will they still like it 8 years from now? Other tips include linking your pet’s quirks or outer appearance with its name. Make sure you name your pet something you are comfortable sharing with friends, family, and your veterinarian’s office.
