What is a better pet and easier to care for a Guinea Pig a Hamster or a gerbil?

Well, of course it has alot to do with personal opinion, but I prefer guinea pigs over gerbils, especially as pets to smaller children because guinea pigs are personable and friendly and need attention, and they are also large enough to cuddle, whereas gerbils are smaller and harder for kids to hug, and also not as friendly - they don't need attention as much and in my opinion aren't the best pets if you're looking for a pet that can also be your friend. I had guinea pigs for 5 1/2 years and enjoyed every minute of it! Guinea Pigs also live longer than gerbils.

Why are buying guinea pigs from pet shops not recommended?

Buying guinea pigs isn't recommended because you don't know their age, their parents, the conditions they're raised in, and if you're looking for a certain breed, it can't be guaranteed that the guinea pigs are purebred. Sometimes they have fleas as well. They're often not fed correctly. A lot of the time they have malnutrition or vitamin c deficiency if they're fed rabbit food with no hay or veggies. Pet store guinea pigs are rarely tame and usually very skittish. I got my guinea pig from a pet store but I've had guinea pigs before. Shortly after I got him I noticed him biting and scratching his back so I looked through his fur and found a big scab. I have no idea how it happened but he definitely had it when I got him. You might have better luck getting a guinea pig from a shelter if there's any available but if you get one from a pet store make sure it's happy and healthy.

Why is a guinea pig as much as it is?

Following is the reason that guinea pigs cost as much as they do: Guinea pigs are worth whatever people are willing to pay for them. So, the price of guinea pigs, set at a pet store, is the maximum amount that the store believes, people are willing to pay for them. This is the most common way that price, in a free market, is set.
