They are very clean. But if you are going to have one you will still need to clean there cage. But the guinea pig will clean themselves I believe.

I already know that guinea pigs are the cleanest rodent. After the guinea pig is the rat.

They are not particularly dirty and they spend a good portion of the day cleaning themselves. You do need to keep up with cage cleaning, though. If you let the cage go for more than a couple days, it will begin to stink.

Short answer, no. But relatively speaking, they're messier than hamsters/rats/gerbils, but a lot easier than rabbits/dogs. I know because I've had all of them.
