In the USA over 1 million families have guinea pigs as pets. Guinea pigs are cuddly and soft and love to cuddle up in the arms of small children.They make great companions and don't have to be toilet trained.Put them in a roomy cage with some bedding, some old newspaper and a constant supply of water and food and you will have a very happy pet.Compare them to a dog,cat, horse,rat,rabbit, birds or fish and they are a very easy pet to take care of.
They don't moan and groan or bark to get your attention.They are a very quiet animal with very few needs.Guinea pigs make great pets for both adults and young children alike.Being a non nocturnal animal,unlike the gerbil or hamster,you don't find yourself being woken or kept awake at night,running on their squeeky wheel.
Compare them to a dog,cat,horse,rat,rabbit, birds or fish and they are a very easy pet to take care of.Owning a guinea pig for the very first time can be quite an experince,as not many people are familiar with the life of the cavy.As a result the new owner often has many questions about their pet.Whilst most people would agree guinea pigs are a very lovable animal and make great pets,before you purchase one you need to take into consideration many things.Firstly of course there are a large range to choose from. There are four main things that need to be considered.
1) The best type of guinea pig,whether for you or your children.
2) Taking care of your guinea pig or pigs.
3) Allegies to guinea pigs.
4) Keeping more than one guinea pig.
The best type of guinea pig often comes down to personality, colour,looks etc,but it is worth taking into account whether your small children will be holding your pet often. Females tend to be a smaller animal , more docile,less excitable than their male counterparts and easier to play with.
