A guinea pig bowing her head or what looks like she is grooming or trying to nudge her way under the other one's head is a sign of submission and truce. This means that the guinea pig who is grooming is lower on the hierarchy than the other.

You put your hand under it's but and lay your other hand on it's back. The guinea pig should be leaning on you.
All female guinea pigs are called sows no matter the age, however in the show world guinea pigs under 3 months are Jr., 3-6 month old guinea pigs are intermediates, and over 6 month old guine pigs are seniors. If your guinea pig is under 3 months then generally it would be called a pup.

Yes! They are very friendly. but like all rodents they do bite if you put your finger in front of his mouth. It is because of this they are highly recommended for young children who want a pet.It depends on a guinea pigs attitude, Really. Mostly they are very friendly, but if you put two guinea pigs in one cage they do become aggresive. Try not to place two male guinea pigs in one cage.Personally I think guinea pigs are the friendliest pets ever!(once they get to know you.)
It's generally not recommended to mix guinea pigs of different ages and from different groups, as it can lead to territorial behavior and fighting. Introducing new guinea pigs should be done gradually and under supervision to ensure they get along well. It's best to have separate cages if you want to keep them together.
Guinea pigs and rabbits should not be kept together, under any circumstances, regardless of their sex. Rabbits can kick and guinea pigs are likely to be injured sooner or later. You could probably allow a rabbit to share a grassy outdoor run with a guinea pig during the day, so long as you have a small den or hiding place for the guinea pig that is too small for the rabbit to get into, but you should never house them together in a hutch or cage.
No. Do not under any circumstances leave your domestic guinea pig unattended.
Yes. Don't, under any circumstances, give a guinea pig chocolate.
