Yes! Guinea pigs should have a wellness checkup at least once a year. It is best for you to establish a good working relationship with a vet that is well versed in caring for guinea pigs. That way if you have any questions or problems you know who to go to and they are familiar with you and Della. Della is adorable! Best wishes to you guys!
