Mine died because of this, just last Monday (3rd September 2012). Miners think mine was ill because it was always underweight even though it eat enormous amounts, and it always somehow had difficulty breathing, like it had a blocked nose or something. She was one of the most friendly guinea pigs I've ever known, and I hope this information was helpful to you.

Why are guinea pigs called guinea pigs?

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.
