The guinea pig originates from the Andes Mountains in South America. They were brought to Europe by the Spanish.
The name "guinea pig" is believed to have originated from the fact that these small animals were originally brought to Europe from the South American country of Guinea. The term "pig" in the name is likely due to the squealing sounds they make that are similar to a pig.
They come from africa.
It all depends on the guinea pigs behavior and who the person is. A well socialized guinea pig is more likely to come to it's owner while a shy and under socialized guinea pig would be less likely to come.
The first people to keep guinea pigs as pets were sailor's. They brought them to Europe from south America. (Which was perhaps confused with Guinea, in Africa). These little animals were called guinea pigs because of the squeaking, pig-like noises they make.MJC
