yaa and they are super messy and smelly :s
Has anyone had a guinea pig?
Yes my sisters had them they like to multiply
Yea. The m/f almost chewed off the end of my index finger.
Yep! I've had several guinea pigs! They're so cute! Come home with groceries or rattle some saran and they squeak wanting lettuce or carrots very cute!
No, but I thought about it several times. I did have rats and hamsters as pets and loved all of them.
Sure ! I had a few when I was a kid and my kids had them when thy were young also ! Great little pets ! Loved when they squealed when I opened the vegetable drawer in the fridge so they could get some lettuce. Easy to care for and fun to have !
Yes, I once had guinea pig, and it was delicous. Needed a bit more flavour though.
Kidding! Kidding!
I was going to buy one for one of my boys when they were very young. I would have been the one to care for it, but I thought he could learn something by having it in the house.
I happened to mention my plan to my pediatrician.
He remind me that one of the reason that guinea pigs were used as lab animals was that they could easily catch diseases.
And that those diseases could be easily transmitted to young children.
I didn't get the animal.
This was 50 years ago---not sure if that is still a concern.
no but I use to have a ferret.
