Guinea Pig: Guinea pigs are social, gentle rodents perfect for beginners, especially families with children. They are diurnal, active during the day, and enjoy interaction. With proper handling, they become tame and affectionate, often responding to their names. They require a spacious cage, fresh hay, vegetables, and clean water. Regular cage cleaning is essential for hygiene. While they need companionship—preferably in pairs—they are relatively quiet and odor-free with proper care. Their lifespan of 5–7 years allows for a meaningful bond. Guinea pigs are hardy, expressive, and entertaining, making them excellent first pets that teach responsibility and provide joyful, low-intensity companionship.
