I was curious how high a normal guinea pig jumps.
Thor is about 7 months now, he's still fairly small but I've noticed he can jump really high. When he was just a baby he was able to jump up on top of his pigloo, a large one about 7 and a half inches tall. My other two pigs don't really jump or climb at all but Thor absolutely loves to.
He just found out today that he can jump up on top of his 10 inch high box. I honestly have no idea how he managed to get up it but he did. After he found out he could he keeps jumping up on it and down, and sleeping on top of it! He worries me sometimes though. I had him on the top floor of their cage and he tried to climb out and luckily I was there because he was hanging on the wall but I got him so he's moved to the bottom floor. He hasn't attempted to get out, but the walls are about 13 inches high so now I'm curious if he can clear those soon!
But aside from that, guinea pig shows do jumping things right? I haven't looked into shows at all but are those like abusive for guinea pigs? Thor loves to climb and jump so if it isn't like abusive or anything I'd love to try to train him and put him in one.
Is 10 inches high for a guinea pig? And I'm curious, does anyone else have guinea pigs who like to jump and climb because Thor often baffles me at how much he loves to.
Here he is up on his box! Terribly sorry about the poop, that's his favorite spot to go and I hadn't cleaned it out yet, or fixed the fleece after he messed it up.
