You can't take Guinea Pig's for a walk with leads or anything like that as they are very bad for a Guinea Pig's spine. You are best to either let them go in a run outside or let them out in your house.

You are best letting it run in your house, but keep it away from wires and spaces it can hide in.

You shouldn't use a guinea pig harness or lead as they can damage their sensitive spines.
