No, they don't.

There are some exceptions. If you don't wash your hands before handling your guinea pig, it could contract a disease from you and get sick.

Also, if a guinea pig is already sick and you handle it, its health will get worse.

Can guinea pigs have powerade?

No. Guinea Pigs can not have powerade. The only drink that guinea pigs are allowed to have is water. Any other drinks (especially Powerade, Gatorade, ...etc...) could potentially make them sick and/or kill them. I would highly recommend getting the book "Guinea Pigs (Animal Planet Pet Care Library) " which can be found at your local PetSmart or Petco. It will tell you all about keeping your Guinea Pig safe and healthy.
