Answer 1

Check out guinea pig websites and check out some books from your library before you get one please!!  They have special dietary needs as well that you need to be aware of as they cannot produce their own vitamin C.  Guinea pigs can be found at the humane society, through other people (such as in classifieds or Craigslist.com) or at petstores (which they can be expensive).  If you are getting two piggies make sure you have a larger cage and use rodent bedding (never cedar) such as pine chips or other materials (from a petstore).  They like indoor temperatures like you would.  Good luck in your search and please do some more research, there is a lot to know...more than anyone can express to you on here!

Answer 2

it depends. usually they are either free or cheap, maybe ten dollars. go to petsmart and ask someone- they know everything and will help you buy everything you need.

Answer 3

I have never seen a guinea pig at a shelter to be adopted, call your local shelter and ask if they have any (cost will vary from shelter to shelter)

Answer 6

I just got a hamster and I was very nervous okay well, if you are getting him from an animal hospital or a shelter most of the time they are free.  You will need to keep them in basicly anytype of temp.  just not really hot or cold and they dont like constintly changing temp.  Feed them once or twice a day give them a wter bottle.  And with guinea pigs you need to cut their nails so a nial trimer and if you are getting a long hair then you will need to cut his fur too.  Hope i helped :)
