Yes! Guinea pigs have been known to learn their names, sweak when they hear a sertain noise, and some even use litter boxes. Some guinea pigs can't be litter boxed trained so don't get mad. Guinea pigs can be trained to do so many things! There are more out there so don't be affraid to try new things! Just remember they are not like dogs, so don't punish them if they don't do what you want them to.

yes.but some guineas just won't get it. what you do is put some fresh poopls into the litter box (you can buy them at places like pets smart) and place some timothy hay and paper shavings in the box to help absorb the pee and poo and hope your little friend catches on. do not scold it if it does not-it just dosent get it and reward it with a treat like a carrot chunk if it goes by it'self in its litter box and your there!
