Another animal question; how long will my guinea pig live?

Question

Okay I have this guinea pig that is about 6 years old, and she has excellent care. I have no idea what breed she is, but she grows a lot of hair if you don't cut it, so it is probably a breed that could have reaaallllyyy long hair. Please be nice about your answers thx

Answer 1

Six is already a good age for a guinea pig but with continued good care and a bit of luck, she could live 2 or 3 more years. The same thing applies to guinea pigs as to people, the older you are, the more likely you are to live even longer. Once a pig makes it past 5, its odds of making it to 7 or 8 (or even 9 or 10) increase significantly compared to a 3 years old making it that long.



That said, she is a senior citizen so enjoy each day with her as you get it and look forward to each new one.

Answer 2

Some can live up to 10 years! I'd say she will live probably till shes 8 or 10 years old. By your description of her, she is probably a Peruvian.

Answer 3

Not long. Maybe a two or three years at the MOST.
