  1. Agouti. I saw one in captivity the other day at an exotic pet store. It was living with the baby guinea pigs and would clean them.  


  2. Yes, your first replier would likely be right and it would be an agouti.

    They are one of the caviomorph rodents, also known as New World rodents.  

    Guinea Pigs are also used for food, in fact, was first domesticated for a food animal.

    See these to verify that this is what you saw:
