Still Can't Find a Name?
It's okay if you're struggling with naming. It's hard to find a name that fits right away. Try letting yourself get to know your guinea pig. Find out their personality.
- Is your guinea pig loud and spunky?
- Is your guinea pig fast and wild?
- What does your guinea pig remind you of?
Answer these questions to describe your guinea pig and become closer to a name that will fit your guinea pig. If you're stuck between names, maybe have your guinea pig help decide. Write the names on index cards and set them around in a run-around. Whichever index card your guinea pig touches first has the name that you should name them. However, ultimately it is up to you. Good luck!
