SummarySummary• Guinea pigs aren't pigs, although the
males are called boars and the females are called sows. These chubby rodents, originally from South America, make great pets. They live a long time (for rodents) and they're not fussy. They eat and "talk" a lot. And if you treat them well, they can become fond of you. Are they the perfect pet? Dick King-Smith, the author of I Love Guinea Pigs, sure thinks so!
