Interesting Facts About Guinea Pigs

Tiny animals with prominent voices – Guinea pigs are surprisingly vocal. They use a variety of sounds, from excited squeaks to contented purrs, to express how they’re feeling.

They come from the Andes, not Guinea – Despite the name, guinea pigs aren’t from Guinea, and they’re not pigs. People in the Andes mountains of South America first domesticated these little creatures.

They thrive with friends – Guinea pigs are naturally social and do best when they have a companion. A solo guinea pig can become lonely, bored, or even depressed.

Popcorn, anyone? – When they’re happy or full of energy, guinea pigs do something called “popcorning.” It’s a quick little hop or leap that looks like they’re bouncing with joy.

Constantly nibbling for a reason – Their teeth never stop growing, so guinea pigs chew continually to keep them at the right length. Hay isn’t just a snack. It’s essential.

Their memory is sharper than you think – Guinea pigs can remember familiar voices, paths in their enclosure, and even routines. They quickly learn when it’s mealtime and who brings the treats.
