Guinea pigs hardly ever bite, they do bite if they're scared though ...or if they mistake your fingers for food!
Well from other resources they have to be very scared......!!!They can, but only one of the many guinea pigs I had as a child ever did. Several of my childhood friends had guinea pigs too, but I don't recall any of them being bitten.
This all depends on the guinea pig, most do not, but I can't speak for every animal. Usually if you get a younger one and treat it lovingly, they won't bite, just nibbled painfully. Most guinea pigs are very mild mannered. I've had 6 over my childhood and I've only been bitten once when one had a skin irritation and it barely broke the skin
It all depends on how you bring up your guinea pig, they don't have the nature of biting, but you COULD give that nature to them by not bringing them up well. Any abuse could lead to this.
From my experience, they rarely do bite. But if the guinea pig is upset or mad enough, yes, they will bite and they will make you bleed.
Usually, when you hand you finger to them, they just nibble at it.
Dont worry, it shouldnt happen often.
No. they are very friendly. they might give you a kiss though They can bite but a lot of them choose not to

∙ 13y agoYes, they do bite. And sometimes hard enough to draw blood. Only experience I had getting bit was when I was feeding one, I don't know if they bite aggresively which is what I presume you are asking. They are pretty tranquil animals.

Guinea pig bites are very rare. If your guinea pig bites you, it may be because you are holding him/her in a uncomfortable position. If you are holding hin comfortably, check over his body and make sure he hasn 't got any bites/scratches that may be irritating him.

most guinea pig bites dont need cleaning as they will lick them and are generally quite small however if your guinea pig does have a nasty wound that needs cleaning warm water will do the trick just give them a bath but dont have the water to deep until your guinea pig knows how to swim. (yes they can swim) if the wound doesnt seem any better or is particulary deep and open or becomes infected than take it to the vets.
