JennaLynn - 2011-03-02 Haha, I have an American (Walnut) and an Abyssinian (Peanut), and I love both. Although, Walnut is actually quite shy, and Peanut is the more friendly of the two. :)

Lydia Weltha - 2011-06-30 That was the same with my Guinea Pigs I had a American {Sammie} and an Abyssinian {Spike}. Sammie is shy and Spike is the nice and calm.
Lydia Weltha - 2011-06-30 I had a guinea pig named Sammie and she died. She started acting weird and stop eating and drinking I know she was sick but does anyone know what it was? Cause my Abyssinian Guinea Pig Spike did the same thing I just want to know? So if I get another one what to do and what it is so I can take her/him to the vet and tell her!

Charlie Roche - 2011-07-01 I am sorry. Guinea pigs usually live 8 - 10 years and it doesn't sound like yours were that old. Guinea Pigs are naturally prey animals and will do whatever to hide the fact they are ill. However, they do stop eating and drinking as the first symptom and it is usually a bacterial infection adn you need to get the little guy to the vet as soon as possible. They do everything they can to hide the fact they are ill. You take it to a vet and tell the ve what is happening and they can do a gram stain and tell what the bacteria is or maybe just treat it with a general purpose antibiotic. I am sorry.
virginia halbin - 2011-06-23 Guinea pigs make the best pets of the rodant family. They are very smart. My daughters two female are two years old they seem to love their life. We feed them lots of vegies and fruit they love romane lettuce,spinach,carrots,cucumbers,watermellon no seeds,any fruits and veggies with awater crunchy bite. They love people their care givers. They communicate with a high tone squeal kinda like a pig. To address to their matters that they love you. Our guineas live in a 55 gallion fish tank we use cedar chips for bedding it keeps the fleas away. Dalala and Natasia are adorable little pets.

Charlie Roche - 2011-05-21 Many animals like chocolate but for most animals it is not good for them. I am not sure about Guinea Pigs but I sincerely doubt it would be good for him. It is toxic for birds and also dangerous for dogs and cats. I wouldn't let your little fella have chocolate. Sorry but in answer to your question - yes many animals love chocolate - sweets actually.
kaela roe - 2010-01-09 My guinea pig's neck is deformed was since last night. His head sits at angle towards the ceiling and he walks around like that. Could he have sufferd a stroke? or could the other guinea pig have stepped on it?

Rae - 2010-10-21 Hi kaela, It does sound as if he's had a stroke. Many guinea pigs can recover from this but you will need to visit a vet to get him checked out, and keep a close eye on him for a while.
kara - 2009-11-13 Oh my, I have 45 guinea pigs. It would take to long to name them all though, so I will name five. These are recently born babies; Dart, gail, maisey, polly, and sammy. They are aborable! I'm so thankful for this website. Here are all my pets - okay; 45 guinea pigs, 7 dogs, 4 cats, 7 bettas, 3 lamas, 2 horses, and 5 parrots. I don't sell my guinea pigs when they are babies because I just can't bare to part with them. I enjoy all animals, and think skinny pigs are still adorable no matter what people say. Thanks Animal-World, for all you do!!!

Jeff Seanor - 2010-03-28 I was given a guinea pig because the previous owner couldn't keep it. She's adorable and has a personality to her. I recently just got another one, she's smaller. Both great girls.

Anonymous - 2010-07-26 And how much are you selling them for? I have one but she's lonely so I'm trying to find her another friend? How old are they?
Alexandra - 2010-05-08 I have two piggies named Lenny and Kerby. Sadly Lenny has a lump on his neck, but when you touch it it doesn't seem to hurt him and you can move it. I'm scared it might be a tumor. So how can you tell if your piggie has a tumor or something else? Besides that they are a joy, they get along fine now and are super cute!
The fabulous docile "Guinea Pig" is neither a pig nor is it from Guinea!
