Not sure, but guinea pigs aren't type of pigs. They're in the rodents family, and NOT pigs. Hope this helped?
A group of guinea pigs is called a herd.
no. guinea pigs are not related to pigs at all. it is just a name. they are actually rodents.
Look at the color or pattern on your guinea pigs fur, or see its personality.
no, it is not true. they got their name because guinea pigs are originally from Guinea which is in Europe somewhere.
