Yes! they are very sweet but you do have to feed them and clean their cage. It is tough but they have wonderful personalities! if you don't want a Guinea pig i suggest getting a Betta fish. They are fun easy to take care of and live a long time!
Yes it is!!! My Daughter is 8 and has had her guinea pig for 3 months. As long as the child knows that she/he will have to play with the pig daily make sure it has food and water and clean the cage at least once a month. A 10 year old child is the perfect age.
Well, any type of guinea is good; but i'd recommend short-haired ones because they're easier for a kid to care for.
A guinea pig would likely live longer.
You have to times the guinea pigs human years age by 16, like you times a dogs human years age by 7. For example if the guinea pig is 2 in human years then he will be 32 in guinea pig years.
A guinea pig is a good one
Guinea pigs live 3-8 years, but an average life span for healthy guinea pigs is about 5-6 years. A lucky guinea pig can sometimes live up to 10 years! So, a 5 year old guinea pig is getting up there in years, but if properly cared for, can live for a long awhile yet.
If your guinea pig is quite old [ 2+yrs] it will just be of old age as my guinea pig squeak is 3 and has had it for 1 year and is fine but if your guinea pig is young id take it to the vets as it may have an eye infection Jacinta Farrell age 11

A guinea pig would likely live longer.
at least half an year
no because a female guinea pig needs to be more than 6 months to fall pregnant Yes, the female guinea pig can become pregnant at 2 months so it is possible.
I just turned 12 and I think the best guinea pig to get is an American short haired. they are very friendly and easy to find. Hope this was helpful :]
a guinea pig they are more fun to play with for this age and live longer
A guinea pig can be just 1 month old before they fall pregnent. But the ideal age to start your female guinea pig breeding is at 3-4 months and no earlier. You should stop breeding her when she reaches the age of 1 year old.Breeding can effect the lifespan of your friend and is not always the best thing to do.
