My guinea pig licks me, too. I think that it could be the salt in our skin. Guinea pigs need salt, and you can buy salt licks for them at pet stores. They love them! Our guinea pigs prefer the non flavored salt licks. I think licking could also be a sign of affection. My guinea pig, Smorez (he's magical, by the way) will lick me as a sign of affection towards me. They do that to show that they love you. (:
Guinea pigs can eat carrots as a treat, but they should not be fed carrots excessively as they are high in sugar. Guinea pigs should also not be mixed with fingers while eating, as they may accidentally bite your fingers. It's important to always supervise and handle guinea pigs carefully during feeding.
Although guinea pigs can bite...it's just a little nibble though! guinea pigs love to get attention and play with kids! A guinea pig would be a children friendly pet!! Hope i helped, Have any questions?Just message me!

No. They are herbivores. They may nibble your fingers sometimes but usually they are just being curious/friendly.
No but if your looking for a treat to give them nibble rings are good.

Usually when a guinea pig nibbles you they either are showing affection (sort of like a kiss) or they don't know what you are so they are tasting you. (if you have sweated you'll taste salty). Yes, it does hurt if their nibble is a bite kind of nibble. They will rarely ever bite you though.( Or that's what I've learned from my previous guinea pigs.) P.S. If your guinea pigs seem to be fighting, don't put your hand in the cage to grab one out. They will bite you i you do this. Just find something to separate them with. (cardboard, wood, something hard, etc.) Other than that, guinea pigs are great pets.

No.
Yes. They are so lovable! But do not cuddle them near your face, or cuddle them too much. Over handling can cause stress. They are cute little cuddle bugs and can sit on your lap for hours. Hope this helped!
