Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs are small, sociable, 'chatty' rodents. There are different breeds and varieties of guinea pigs, with a wide variety of colour and coat lengths.
Typically guinea pigs live for 5-6 years, but some may live longer.
Guinea pigs are social animals. In the wild they live in close family groups of 5 - 10 individuals, though several groups may live in close proximity to form a colony.
