I am getting a guinea pig in a few days!!! 
I bought it’s cage which is around 7.5 square feet. But I have a few worries! The food they gave me at the petstore looks like it has seeds in it. It’s called Nutrishare formula. Is it ok for them? I got it Timothy Hay . A bowl and a water bottle. I got it Carefresh bedding and a few toys.
so my questions are
1. Nutrishare? Is it bad for my piggy? Why?
2. Vitamin Tablets? What brand should I buy?
3. Which are generally less smelly females or males? Which are more friendly?
4. Girl names?
5. Boy names? I like Henry so far!
And if you have any beginner piggie tips please add!
Hi and congrats on the new pet!! oK so it looks like you got a good sized cage and it looks like you have everything it needs. To answer your questions:
1. Nutriphase is okay but i would take it back and get plain guinea pig pellets. The seeds added in the food is extra fat that guinea pigs dont need. Seeds are also not supposed to be fed to guinea pigs in the first place.
2. Any vitamins for water with vitamin c are good since guinea pigs cant produce it themselfs. Watch your guinea pig to make sure it drinks because some dont like the color or taste of the vitamin water.
3. Females tend to be less smelly because they do not spray like males. Both are great but i tend to see females more cuddly and fun.
4. Daisy, lily, muffin, cookie, maple, basil, blossom, reese, honey, chocolate, dolly, tulip, sugar, spice, buttons
5. Henry (cute!) Elmo, moe, fred, mac, maxie, teddy, fudge, boo, bugsy, blue

Tips: Remember to wait a few days until handeling your piggy. He needs to get used to his new cage and enviroment.
Remeber to feed lots of veggies each day with small pieces of fruit for treats.
