Answer 1

I do have to tell you one thing, you need 2. Bottom line. In all small rodents other than hampsters you NEED 2 for them to be happy. Dwarf hammies have a habit of biting, guinea pigs do not have a mean bone in there body! I ahve 2 right now and they are the best small pet if you have at least a 7.5 sq. foot cage and 2. I love them, but you really need to do research b4 getting one, many ppl do not know this.

Answer 2

Show her FACTS from the internet.

Answer 3

tell her you would not only like to have a pet, but youd like to use the opportunity to show her that you can be a responsible young lady. good luck

Answer 4

I would get two at the same time because they get lonely.  Just remember, they take up more space and time then a hamster does.  They should be fed a good pellet food, fresh fruits and vegetables and a lot of hay.  Do some more research if you are really interested in guinea pigs.  They are not cheap but are worth the money and time it takes to care for them.
