What can be cuter than a fluffy fat little guinea pig? It’s said that they are one of the gentlest of pets, perfect for a child. Of course, like any small animal they should be carefully watched to make sure no harm comes to the guinea pig from an overly exuberant child.

Guinea pigs are vegetarians and need a balanced diet with both fresh vegetables and some grains. Guinea pigs also need lots of liquid to stay healthy so clean water ought to be on hand for them.

But aren’t they the cutest little guys? The expression on their faces is priceless! And although they can be a little “fragrant” at times, keeping their cage clean should take care of that.
