Guinea pigs make great pets. They live for several years, so you can enjoy them longer than most other rodents. They have different personalities and are very vocal, making it easy to know their individual identities and get attached. They are fun to play with and very entertaining. I've have 2 couples wich have babies. There are too much. That's why i need to let them go. There are 2 different kind of guinea pig. One called Abyssinian wich cost $40 each one and the other with short hair to $35. We're in Lake Ridge Woodbridge Virgnina
