maybe the MAYBE answer is wrong the one on the bottom is right Guinea pigs are not related to pigs because the guinea pig is already related to rodents so if their related to rodents they can't be related to pigs.
Guinea pigs are born without tails due to genetic factors. Over time, their ancestors evolved to have shorter and eventually no tails as they were not necessary for their survival. This trait has been passed down through generations, resulting in guinea pigs not having tails.
cats ,maybe dogs and wild animals.my 2 4day old babie guinea pigs were attacked by cats and so was the dad guinea pig and they didn't survive:(so never let your cats near your guinea pigs if they are not in a closed hutch or run or cage
Rats cannot live with guinea pigs. Although there may be some exceptions, rats and guinea pigs generally do not get along well at all. The same goes for rats and mice. Each type of rodent should have it's own cage and living area.
