Are guinea pigs good pets?

I hear they’re pretty tasty

@zerofuks2give You are correct the people in South America raise them for food as they are just like rabbits.

I had a nice one who gave audible reactions to attention, sort of like a purr. On the downside the cage bedding has to be changed often and stinks up the house. They are social so if you get one you should get two and a very big cage.

They are fun but die easy as they are prone to viruses like colds and they pee a lot making cleaning their cages out often or you get a strong ammonia smell from it. I have had several and they are prolific at making babies.

You have to clean them out regularly.
If their sawdust/shavings get too wet it does tend to stink.

But yes as pets they're pretty entertaining.
