Question
Do guinea-pigs make good pets?

Do they become very tame?

Can a group of females live together?

Can a group of males live together?  

Answer
Hi,
Guinea-pigs can make very good pets, they are easy and fun to keep.
They can become tame after a while of having them and nurturing them.
Both males and females can live together, it doesn't matter either way round.
But a warning IF you are going to get 2 males, they might have fights and they smell really bad if they live together.
So if you are getting two, i suggest females.
Hope this helps.
If you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to ask.
