Yes and their ribs are very fragile and "float" Be sure to handle your pig in a manner that does not hurt them, and does not force them to bend backwards as the spine of a guinea pig is not structured to bend backwards. I gently put one hand on my pig's back and she stays still. I then quickly slide my other hand under her so that her tummy is on my arm. With my other hand on her back to steady her, I then pull my arms into my body so she is safely snuggled. Never pick up your pig by putting your hands around its ribcage, and absolutely never by the "scruff" as that is a very large and tender muscle. They aren't like cats and must be handled appropriately.
