Why is it illegal to own one guinea pig in Switzerland?
Correct answer: They are social species and need social interaction to be happy
Player Say what!?
Well, now, that explains why my cat would get in the cage with my guinnea pig, lie down, Hugo would climb on his back, and both slept.

You could have 2 and have them fixed so you didn’t end up with a herd.

I wish they would make such a law for dogs

StarredCornball59575, Either way you'd end up with a herd of them. They were originally (and still) domesticated in South America as a food source.

The same goes for rabbits, that are usually not sold on their own

The consumption of Guinea pigs goes back thousands of years in South America. Called cuy, it is a valuable source of protein at high altitude where there are few domestic animals.

StarredCornball59575, 2 males would fight over 1 female, 1 male would impregnate 2 females, or 2 females would eat 1 male, then each other.

StarredCornball59575, not if they were neutered or spayed. I hear one an animal is fixed they live a much calmer happier life. They only have fun and love on their minds and not you know what..😁

I never knew that, I wonder what would happen if A person owned 3, maybe two would mate and leave the other one out!?
