Guinea Pigs are MUCH larger than Hamsters and since their excrement (droppings) and cleaning habits and so on are similar - one could conclude that they smell the same.BUT if you do not clean their habitat often enough, THEN a Guinea Pig's Cage/Terarium would be Smellier than a Hamster's - SINCE they would have a larger amount of droppings (both in size and amount) and there would be more excrement in their enclosure.

How do you convince your parents to buy a Guinea pig and one hamster?

Study hamsters and guinea pigs. and everything you need to know about them. Write down neat notes and hang them around your room. Decide which cages are good and which are bad. Tell your parents occasionally you'd love a hamster - but don't nag them. Set up a fake hamster cage with a plastic box that is the right size. Wash it as much as you need to wash a hamster cage. Pretend to change its food bowl and water as often as you need it. Then, your parents may consider it.
