Its normal body temperature is 38–40 °C (101–104 °F), [112] so its ideal ambient air temperature range is similar to a human's, about 18–24 °C (65–75 °F). [111] Consistent ambient temperatures in excess of 32 °C (90 °F) have been linked to hyperthermia and death, especially among pregnant sows. [ 111 ]
The optimal temperature range for a hairless guinea pig is 68 to 79 °F (20 to 26 °C), which is slightly higher than the optimal temperature range for the haired guinea pig. [2] Their sensitive skin has very much the same appearance as human skin, [5] but has the same needs as normal guinea pig skin.
Hairless guinea pigs are not significantly physiologically different than regular haired guinea pigs, [4] although they need to eat more to maintain body heat. The optimal temperature range for a hairless guinea pig is 75 to 79 °F (24 to 26 °C), which is slightly higher than the optimal temperature range for the haired guinea pig. [5]
The Fahrenheit scale (/ ˈ f æ r ə n h aɪ t, ˈ f ɑː r-/) is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by the European physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736). [1] It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: °F ) as the unit.
* Normal human body temperature is 36.8 °C ±0.7 °C, or 98.2 °F ±1.3 °F. The commonly given value 98.6 °F is simply the exact conversion of the nineteenth-century German standard of 37 °C. Since it does not list an acceptable range, it could therefore be said to have excess (invalid) precision.
The Peruvian Guinea Pig's long locks (which can grow up to 2 feet!) make it a popular with owners who like to show their cavies (yes, there are guinea pig shows).
Normal human body temperature (normothermia, euthermia) is the typical temperature range found in humans. The normal human body temperature range is typically stated as 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F).
The ideal temperature for sleep is typically between 60°F and 67°F for most adults, says Martina Vendrame, M.D., neurologist and sleep medicine specialist at Lehigh Valley Health Network.
