Well, i did answer the turtle question. so i obviously know the purpose of this "G" pig. the purpose of a "G" pig is that they are highly trained political assasin. some say, that they are linked to the assassination of JFK AND MLK..Jr. Around the time of the death of Abe Lincoln, in a picture of his funeral, there has been a ginea pig spotted in the far left tree. it is also believed that the guinea(G) pigs ar at war with the turtle yakuza. some have even asked, who would win in a turtle vs guinea pig fight. the answer is obvious, if you just search Turle VS Guinea pig. -Gdawg-
The etymology of guinea pig is unknown and confusing.Despite its name, guinea pigs are not from Guinea nor are in the pig family. They are native to the Andes Mountains in South America. They are believed to have been called pigs because their structure is similar to that of a pig's body. The guinea part of the name is even more confusing. There are three theories: one is that the guinea pigs were brought across the Atlantic Ocean to the island of Guinea then to Europe, another is that guinea was used because it is a word in the English language that means "far away land", and a third is that it was a variation of the word "Guiana", a region in South America (composed of Dutch Guiana [now Suriname], British Guiana [now Guyana], and French Guiana [still present]).No one really knows how they got the 'guinea' part but they are called pigs because they make sounds like pigs.

The name "guinea pig" is believed to have originated from the fact that these small animals were originally brought to Europe from the South American country of Guinea. The term "pig" in the name is likely due to the squealing sounds they make that are similar to a pig.

No it can not. Corn is unhealthy for guinea pigs, so it can not be used as feed. Try timothy hay and guinea pig pellets with treats of fruits and vegetables. Do not make the mistake of using corn for guinea pigs.
