Cassandra, Guinea Pigs are F-U-N. They have the most adorable personalities, don't spray like some rabbits do and they are born full of fur with their eyes open, about the size of a small rat and running around like a small rat. They grow quick and are very gentle but the litter sizes are not as big as rats and I believe the gestation period is a bit longer. Our daughters had them as pets when they lived at home so it's been a while but I don't remember them stinking as bad as rats or bunnies (yes, we went through the pet bunny phase too).

Still got those dumbo's for me???
