On the mend: This little guinea pig is being treated for burns to her feet

The RSPCA describes guinea pigs as small, sociable, "chatty" rodents, which can typically live for between five-six years.

It adds: "There is no one 'perfect' way to care for all guinea pigs because every guinea pig and every situation is different, but certain essential needs must be met.

"Guinea pigs are now housed indoors as house pets as well as outside.

"It is up to you how you look after your guinea pig, but you must take reasonable steps to ensure that you meet all his/ her needs."
