Clear Signs of Aging in Guinea Pigs
Aging in guinea pigs is easy to spot: loose skin, dull and thinning coat, heavy shedding, and slow walking. They live about 5 to 8 years and enter old age after 5, when body function and immunity fade and illness becomes more likely.

Seniors lose calcium and easily cramp or fracture, and their bite weakens, needing softer food and regular tooth trims plus extra vitamins.
