Why Guinea Pigs Are Low Maintenance PLR

Guinea pigs are super low maintenance, making them one of the best family pets, especially for homes with children. They live much longer than other rodents, are cute, and have diverse personalities that will keep you attracted to them. These animals are among the most social pets you can find and will do well if they are kept in pairs.

However, if you don’t want a bunch of baby cavies (a popular name for guinea pigs), then you may reconsider putting a pair of the opposite sex. It is best to keep same-sex pairs in the same hutch. But introduce them as babies so they will grow used to each other.
