Is it better to get a female or male guinea pig????which one is sweetest?

Answer 2

Answer 3

female are sweetier. but males are more playful :)

Answer 4

Not sure. It probably depends a lot on individual personality. Instead of supporting pet stores and their mills, I'd look for homeless guinea pigs in shelters and rescues and go see and handle them and ask which would be a fit for you.: http://www.petinfopackets.com/

Don't forget that guinea pigs are highly social herd animals and should be kept in same s*x pairs or groups.

Also, read up before you get them:

Answer 5

Like many answers above me, It really depends on the guinea pig. In general, males tend to be lazier and more affectionate while females tend to be active and jumpy.

Answer 6

With most animals it depends on their individual personality more than anything else. I'd go out to a pet store you intend to get your pig from and handle a few of them. Choose the friendliest one, regardless of gender. It's as simple as that.

Answer 7

Females are sweeter because Males are more aggressive. Just make sure she doesn't have babies.
