Question
Can you potty train a guinea pig?  If so, how?

Answer
Hi Angela

Piggies poop wherever they are when they need to poop. This isn't a problem as their pellets are small and dry.

However, signs that they need a wee are easy to spot. They will either start nibbling your clothes, and/or you, or they will just become noticably restless and not settle when on your knee. Both these sign probably mean they need a wee, so simply put them back in their house.
