Handling them or buying one as a pet should be perfectly safe.

Brought my guinea pig to vet, he made the poor fella way worse, if he had'nt got a broken leg when i went in, it was in bits by the time the vet had finished, he could'nt do anything for him, but applied so much pressure to the leg, that the whole leg was hanging when he finished, his foot was only slightly turned outwards when I brought him in!
