Does holding a mirror in front of a guinea pig change how a guinea pig acts?
The person under me has no idea what they're saying. if just a tad amount of research is done, even typing in "dog" and "mirror" you'll find tons of evidence on dogs being able to see their reflections. as for guinea pigs....... No it doesnt do anything! Think of your guinea pig like a dog! Do dogs react to a mirror in front of there face? NO! Not really. Some guinea pig out there might react to it but as for me or anyone like me I've never seen one react to a mirror!
