Compared to other small animals...Guinea Pigs are naturally preferable to other small rodents such as mice and gerbils, which tend to be skittish and shy and often unclean. Guinea Pigs, however, are very different.
They do not bite. They are more patient and understanding than any other small pet. They will respect you, and not bite you unless provoked. They will enjoy your company and you should enjoy theirs. They are also attractive to people who dislike rodents with tails. Unlike gerbils, rats, mice and other small rodents, Guinea Pigs do not have tails. Their unique personalityGuinea Pigs are gentle and calm and tame by nature. They love sharing time and cuddles with their owners (often in return for a nibble on some tasty veggies).
