How popular are guinea pigs as pets?

Answer

I'd say easily in the top ten pets in America. And probably in the top five.

Answer

Guinea Pigs are great pets for several reasons. They live in a contained environment but they can be held, loved and played with like cats or dogs but you can control their environment. I have always had Guinea Pigs and they get along great with other pets.

Answer

Before getting a guinea pig, make sure you know everything there is to know about them. They also require a lot of space and time from you in order to stay healthy. Please refer to these web pages to get ALL the correct information before adopting a Guinea Pig. Please consider rescuing a Guinea Pig. There are many owners that cannot care for or get bored with their pets as they grow up from children and dump them at your local shelter. Always ask first.
