Abstract

Guinea pigs, as a prey species, are very susceptible to stress and often disguise the signs. Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVN) must understand the natural behaviour of guinea pigs to be able to interpret the signs of stress and to be able to implement stress-reducing techniques. This article discusses the signs, causes and effects of stress in pet guinea pigs and how RVNs can address and educate owners on the health and welfare of their pet guinea pig.
