I Was Thinking About Getting A Guinea Pig...

I was thinking about getting a pet guinea pig so I dicided to share some of my research here for everyone to enjoy. (What... you never heard of a cat owning a guinea pig before?)

While doing my research I found out that Guinea Pigs are about half as big as I am so I probably wont be getting one, even though they are cute critters.

The Guinea pigs average size is around two pounds. Most guinea pigs live from five to seven years. Guinea pigs come in lots of color variations from brown, spotted, black, banded to pure golden or white.

Guinea Pigs are rodents with short legs and a plump body. (Sounds like someone I know)

The three most common type of guinea pigs are the smooth-coated with short, glossy fur, the Abyssinian, with fluffy hair tufts and the Peruvian, with long silky hair that flows to the ground. (Wow, they are really into their hair!)

Guinea pigs are social animals so if you keep two or more females together, they will be great friends. (Yeah, great, as long as they don't intend to barrow my hair products!) Adult males tend to fight so it is best to choose females if you intend to keep more than one guinea pig in a single inclosure.

Well, there you have it. Sounds like guinea pigs are all around great pets. Even though they may not be smart enough to own their own website, I personally wouldn't mind being friends with one. Till Next Time. Your Little Paws Pet Club President, Little
