Question
how long do guinea pigs live for?

Answer
Hello Kate

There has been much convesation about this I have heard of some living only three years some four, four and a half,five and a half and six some people say this live eight to ten years, I have yet to find out for my self with my own guinea pigs but I will estimate they live to be four on avrage because thats how old most of the ones I've looked at on piggie owners web sites lived, go here and click on "pigs in the sky" and you'll see just how old they all lived;
