Answer 1

Guinea pigs stink lol  

Answer 2

Guina Pigs are very dirty not as social as rats and they are more work that rats Guina pigs may need some getting use to. I would recamend a rat rats are clean very social so you can hold them and they will sit on your sholder and all that cool stuff so I think you would like a rat more I know this beacuse of the N.E.W zoo i use to volunteer there and they had a rat named Rascal he lived for Five years then he died of cancer he was very social and kool he lived with 2 guinapigs then was separated beacuse the 2 guina pigs were mean to Rascal.

The guina pigs would also p**p and pie in their food and on eachother if you are looking for eaiter of these pets go to petfinder or the humane society there are usealy already social guinapigs there but remember i think rats are better pets(ive wanted one since i was 10)

GOOD LUCK

Answer 3

Well they are very cute,love carrots,and love attention.

But let anything all pets  it costs money time and you have to have responsibility
