Question
I want to ask that both Hamsters and Guinea Pigs are my favourites then If I want to choose the one which is requires less money and time then what should I keep; hamster of guinea pig?

Answer
Hi Mohsin,

Both Guinea Pigs and Hamsters require money and time spend on them to make them into good pets and to keep them healthy and happy.


If you do not think you will have enough time and money to spend on a pet then it is best not to get one - or save up for a while first.

In addition to money required for food, toys and cage requirements, you also need money saved up incase your pet needs to go to the vet - this can be very expensive too!

Kind Regards,

Tammy
