My guinea pig doesn't seem to care.Though,at night we turn off the light.When we turn off the lights(they're always on)she coos,whichsounds like purring(when they coo,they feel happy,usually,they will coo if you're holding them and they feel comfortable,or they like a sound.)Though she coos because of the sound of the lightswitch.

it depends on the guinea pig my guinea pig prefers the dark and likes to be hidden. He likes to hide in towels,blankets and pillows. So it just depends on how your guinea pig reacts if it likes to hide then it likes the dark. But if it loves to be out in the open it likes light

Guinea pigs are definitely not afraid of the dark, they love it! In the wild guinea pigs use dark places to hide in , so naturally they love it!

They like to lay around in it in the wild so I bet it is OK as pets. But not too much sun. Especially if your guinea pig's fur is dark, like black. Dark haired animals absorb much more sunlight than light haired animals. Like humans, dark skinned people absorb more melanin.
