Heard that too. Also they need the companionship of another guinea pig, will not thrive alone. Cruel to keep one singly.

as a child I had one. they are nocturnal and make a lot of noise at night. If anyone gets one as a pet don't keep it in your bedroom.

Player #11743474, agreed. They are great for children’s pets, very gentle, they don’t scratch or bite.

A neighbor used to let his cavies run free, free-range cavies, our other neighbor's cat became quite porky eating the cavies.

as a young girl I had a female guinea pig named Samantha. I had her bread, and she had 4 babies. They are born w/ hair, and the size of a hamster. They would all start speaking when they heard the lettuce bag open.
