Physical Description

They have small, compact, cylindrically shaped bodies, ranging from 20.3 cm to 25.4 cm in length. They have small petal-shaped ears that are laterally positioned at the apex of the head. Their eyes are laterally positioned mid-way down the snout, between the ears and nose.

Guinea pigs can live up to 14 years in captivity but have an average lifespan of 8 years. Reproductively active guinea pigs generally have shorter lifespans of about 3.5 years.[1]
