Having a small and active pet requires you to be on your toes, but the love and affection your pet gives will make your day better and make you more attentive to them and yourself. So, go ahead and get a small pet.
Guinea pigs (scientific name, Cavia porcellus) belonging to the genus Cavia and subfamily Caviinea are the most popular domesticated rodents. They are very social creatures, and so can live alone with us or in a cluster. Their average life span is from six to eight years. Guinea pigs enjoy being with you and being tickled. They are very entertaining, lovable and friendly pets. Their coats can be black, brown, chestnut, grey, orange and white, or made up of two or more shades of these colours.
Of the 30 known major and frequently breed species as pets, a few of them are the American (short-haired), the Abyssinian (rough-coated), the Peruvian (long-coated), the Silkie (long-coated), the Teddy (densely and short-coated), the White Crested (pure white-haired forehead) and the Coronet (rosette-haired forehead).
