Answer #1

no you carnt feel bones on a grown one but baby ones you can! as it gets older it will put weight on an wont feel boney any more!! just dont forget to make sure that it has always got food lol x

Answer #2

no. I’ve had lots of guienea pigs && theyre very furry && soft. you cant feel their bones unless they’re like wayyy under weight.

Answer #3

At a healthy weight they will feel “boney to the touch” in certain areas. Obviously if it is underweight you will feel bones all over and see them protruding from the skin which I hope this is not the case! :]

Answer #4

yes they do, it means they healthy and not fat, just make sure they not too bony :P
