Question
Hey Samannt-
             I want to get a guinea pig. My friends has two that he can give me for free,but i'm thinking I should get one from a pet store instead. I was thinking about namimg it Bailey(it's a girl!). Any tips on names? Also can you please help me out with training and other things i should get and provide for my guinea pig?

Answer
Pet store guinea pigs can sometimes carry dieses and it is not goood to buy them frome there. Yorr friend's guinea pigs sound better

I like that name Bailey

For training I can only tell you that treats and kindness are the trick!

When you pick them up and they wiggel jold them until they stop. Reward them by kind words and a treet, also put the guinea pig back in the cage.

if you have anymore questions ask!
