∙ 15y agoGuinea pigs are rodents and belong to the cavy family. They are related to rats and mice. Females are called sows, and males are called boars. In their natural habitat, in grassland areas in parts of South America, guinea pigs live in family groups, so when deciding to have them as pets it is a good idea to keep at least two guinea pigs so that the animals have companionship.
