Are guni pigs a good pet?

Question

Are guni pigs a good pet?

Answer 1

I had a guinea pig for 8 years...she was wonderful. if you have the time to commit to them they will be just like a dog. If you get wire protectors for your house they can run around like a dog, learn to come when called. Mine would run to the fridge as soon as it opened put her front feet up there then whistle for a tomatoe. They are excellent pets if you want to spend the time to bond to them so they are not skittish....you can even litter box train the smart ones. i like girls more than boys....hope that helps!

Answer 2

it all depends on what you like. I like rabbits or rats more :) Much more intelligent and friendly. Guinea pigs tend to be skiddish and shy. They are'nt as cuddly either, at least thats my opinion :)

Answer 3

Yes they are, guinea pigs are wonderful little animals and I think the make good pets, because they dont really bite and if they do its mostly a nibble and it dosent hurt. They are fairly easy to take care of and they dont need much other than a medium size cage, fresh water, food and they like having a shelter so it feels protected. And you can also tame them and they are not loud but sometimes they may squeak.

Hope that helps(:

Answer 4

I love my guinea pig!! They are really easy to take care of. Just make sure to clean it's cage about once a week. Also make sure it was plenty of food and water. Another thing is they have to have plenty of vitamin e so give them a little bit of some type of vegtable everyday or you can get vitamin drops to put in their water. Good LUCK

Answer 5

Answer 6

guinea pigs are adorable but rabbits are more hardy and bond to you. i would recoment a rabbit instead of a guinea pig but it all depends on ur situation.
