GUINEA PIGS TOTALLY!!!!!! Guinea pigs are great pets recommended for 7 + year olds. They eat basically any fruit or vegetable and love to explore which means tons of fun customizing their cage!! They have a very expanded language too!! They live up to 10 years are great pets to have!! i suggest looking up about them ;DHi this is someone else answering too.

I do agree that guinea pigs are better. They aren't nocturnal like hamsters and are adorable! Hamsters are cute too, and fun to watch when they're playing. Either would be an excellent addition to your family and home!

If you want something that doesn't need tons of caretaking and is fun to play with get a hamster. If you want something that is medium maintence and fun to play with, get a rabbit. If you want something that is higher maintnence and interesting get a hedhehog.

The answer to this question may vary, but I would suggest a guinea pig because they are low maintenance.

Rats are good pets but guinea pigs are better. They don't hurt when they bite and they barely even bite. Also, if rats get a taste of blood then it makes them really mean. If a rat bites you it will draw blood meaning it wil make you bleed. However, guinea pigs don't.
