Lots of people think that Guinea Pigs are low maintenance. What do you think? In my opinion however, I completely disagree. Guinea pigs need lots of attention, care, and can easily get sick. Some chain pet store Guinea Pig care guides say that they are beginner level. That is not true for these reasons. The proper cage can be expensive and hard to find. Guinea pigs need lots of hay and vegetables in their daily life, which can start to be expensive. They also need their cage cleaned everyday. If you have a wire cage, hay will get on the floor. If you are a light sleeper Guinea Pigs make some noise at night. You must be very patient to own Guinea Pigs. They also live for 5-8 years, so if your looking for a short-term pet this isn't the one for you. You also need two guinea pigs to keep each other company. If you don't do this your Guinea Pig will get depressed. If this doesn't seem daunting to you than you should look into getting guinea pigs!
