Guinea Pigs are great pets?


Hello people. Hope everyone’s in good spirits. I have this 10 inch long, and 4.5 pounds round and stout bodied guinea pig that is cute, actually very cute that an ex girlfriend had gifted me. Now I have my mom visiting me for like a month and she is already half petrified when I told her about him. Please tell me everything about them so that my mom can read here and know before deciding onto getting rid of it. Thanks guys!!

<p class="MsoNormal">Well, even if I&rsquo;m answering this for you, I have to admit one thing. I share the same strange fear of the creepy rodents with your mom. But yes, I also have to admit that their cuteness quotient dominates them hands down! The&nbsp;<span>guinea pig</span>, relatively mellow in nature most of the time. And do get to enjoy being handles and hanging around with their handler. A lot of time they&rsquo;ll learn how to get litter box trained with a lot of time and effort and patience on your part. A lot of people also enjoy the fact that guinea pigs are a very vocal animal. Where they will kind of make noises for the fact that they&rsquo;re happy or they&rsquo;re upset. Love noises, purring, kind of like a cat would make noises around its owner. They&rsquo;re really mellow, so they&rsquo;re great around kids as a starter pet. And it's actually very interesting that guinea pigs are&nbsp;<strong>diurnal</strong>, meaning that they are awake during the day, and sleep at night, just like humans do. At first, I thought that guinea pigs were nocturnal, meaning that they slept during the day, and was awake at night, but I was wrong!&nbsp;So your mom need not worry. She might end up loving him more than you!!</p>
