Why you should get a guinea pig

How sweet is this??:)

Look at this mama kissing her baby. Guinea pigs are gentle creatures and make great pet's for people of all ages. Guinea pigs are social animals and do well in pairs. If your gone a lot consider getting a friend for your piggy.

Guinea Pigs make wonderful pet's and can be big cuddlers. If you're looking for the right pet ask yourself is a guinea pig right for me? If you're already interested then the answer is probably yes. Guinea pigs are a commitment however. They are very skidish and like to hide due to the fact that they are prey animals. You can tame your piggy just as any other pet but most are already as sweet as can be. Piggies require a special diet   and to be cleaned up after. If you want a cute animal, it doesn't get cutter than this!
