Who hasn't thought about how much fun it is to dress up your pet, be it a dog or a cat, with a homemade costume, but what if you have a guinea pig? Well, nothing, because you can also dress it up as long as you follow these instructions. The first is that you try not to make sure that the costume does not cover your guinea pig's head completely, because they are very delicate and could have difficulty breathing. The next indication is that you avoid the use of elastic bands, or thin and rounded rubber bands to fasten your guinea pig's costumes, since they tend to get tangled up with their fur and then it is necessary to cut it. And the third indication is that if the costume has to be painted with some type of paint, it is better that it be special for pets or children, so that it cannot cause any type of intolerance or allergic reaction.
If you already have all the necessary material and clear instructions, don't miss this article on our site about guinea pig costumes.
