I have guinea pigs. Honestly, no guinea pig is the best guinea pig. They are super messy, sometimes smell, and cost a lot to maintain. Every day, you need to give them fresh hay and greens. Also, the bedding gets very expensive. Think about whether or not you really want one. They can last for 7+ years, too.


Probably a short-hair female.
my friend has a short hair male and hes the friendliest little thing!
Well the type of guinea pig you should get depends on wether or not you want a male or a female. I have a big, furry, beautiful colored guinea pig named Shakira who was given to me as a gift. It doesn't matter if you get a male or a female as they both make good pets and are quiet. Mine gets along well with my dog. Make sure you feed your guine pig the proper foods and take good care of it, because they do need to be petted and taken out of their cages to roam around free in the house. Their easy to take care of!
its great that your using petfinder!

long haired ones need to be brushed everyday and usually more baths. males need some special thing in there bath sometimes like a swarfega. they also have a grease gland.

somthing from a website:

Swarfega and the Grease Gland

If you have any boars, you will need to pay attention to their grease gland which is situated near to where their tail would be (if guinea pigs had a visible tail). Its usually boars that have an active grease gland, but it can effect females too. It can feel like a small round sticky coin. A little Swarfega placed on the area before shampooing your piggy will help to remove the grease. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse. Swarfega is what garage mechanics use to clean the oil and grease off their hands. As a young child, my father always had some under the kitchen sink when he was a car mechanic. I have only recently discovered its ideal for cleaning a grease gland on guinea pigs.

so if you dont want to take more time taking care of it i would get a short haired female but in the end it doesnt matter.


All of them are wonderful on petfinder! They all need forever homes! Good for you for adopting!! (it's just a matter of preference really)
The best one? Well, that would be the one that melts your heart when you it? It's the one you keep going back to, over and over.
