never cook a guinea-pig! not just because they r cute but my friends sister said it tasted very chewy and it wasn't very nice. hope this helps

answ2. These cute animals still form an important part of the diet of the Indians of the Andes. They were possibly domesticated over 5000 years ago. As part of the Andean household, they clean up food scraps around the camp, and supply a warm skin for clothing. They have been domesticated for so long, they may no longer be able to survive in the wild.

They were often used in sailing ship days as a portable food supply, and it is probably from these days that the 'pig' name became wrongly attached.

But perhaps as a rodent, pig on the diet list sounds better than rat.

[About 15 years ago, an acquaintance of mine who had spent much time in S America, served up Cavia as a meat pate at her party in Upper Hutt (New Zealand). The guests didn't know, and considered her pate good.]

What happens when a guinea pig is cool to the touch?

If your guinea pig is that cold, that is definitely not a good sign. The temperature should be about 64oF - 72oF. No lower or higher. Or if your guinea pig is not moving either, it could have passed away. When an animal dies, the blood stops moving, therefore the blood temperature severely drops.
