Teaching a guinea pig its name might take a while, but it is worth it in the end. First, whenever you go to his/her cage, call out its name in a soft voice. When the guinea pig responds in some way to that (which may take a few weeks) bring him/her out of the cage and place it on a surface, then with some treats at the ready, call out his/her name, if the piggie moves closer or shows that he/she is listening or heard you...give him/her a treat. I know that it is possible because my guinea pig learnt to come to his name! It really helped too, because i just needed to call out his name and he would go into his sleeping compartment and make it easier for me to catch him! Good luck
