Answer 2

girl and boy guinea pigs aren't any faster than each other. girl ones can be  more stressy with you. if you handle it well, it will be friendly, the only time it would bite is if you or somebody annoys it, or if it is scared. and yes it does hurt when they bite

Answer 3

There's no difference between male and female except for the "obvious parts". Except for the fact that male guinea pigs are best alone then when they are with others. If you want a female, you're better off just buying two of them.

If you buy a baby guinea pig and it's sweet and tame it isn't hard to train it to be friendly. It shouldn't bite when taught to be friendly. When guinea pigs bite hard it hurts a lot. When I say a lot I mean a LOT. But there's a difference between l*****g and biting. When a guinea pig licks, it's teeth get in the way of the tongue and you may think that the guinea pig wants to bite you. Most of the time you'll be wrong. However, if you feel the grip of the teeth strengthen, you may want to pull away.

(P.S. I have 2 guinea pigs currently. I have had 3 in my life and plan on more! Their such sweet creatures!!! It's hard to believe people eat wild ones in Persia! AAHH!!!)

Answer 4

Females are generally calmer and more friendly than males.

Guinea pigs are generally kind, and do not need to be bought at a young age to be well socialized.

Guinea pigs do not typically bite.
