My first guinea-pig was 1 month when I got her, and every day for about a month i went to her caged and called her name, and when she came I gave her some food. After about a month she would just be on the lawn eating, I would call her and she would run over to me even if I didn't have food.

Guinea pigs may learn to recognize and respond to their name through repetition and positive reinforcement. While they have limited hearing compared to humans, they can pick up on familiar sounds and associate them with specific actions or treats. It may take some time and training for a guinea pig to consistently respond to their name.
