Guinea Pigs
Are Guinea Pigs actually related to Pigs? No. Actually Guinea Pigs are the much cuter version of pigs. According to the Kids Almanac 2010 they say it was the Europeans who first saw these furry friends in the 1500s. They named these fluffy rodents after their farm animal pig look-a-likes. When did the name "Guinea" Pigs come up? No one quite knows for sure but one answer could be that these animals once cost a guinea.(A guinea is a really old english coin). These animals might be misnamed but at least they don't play in mud and live in a pigsty!

Lila
Lila, my guinea pig, is the loudest mammal ever born. She squeaks when I come home, She squeaks when the refrigerator door opens, Etc. They stink if you don't change them, and they have to have food at all times. They need regular guinea pig food in their bowl at all time along with daily crunchy fruits and vegetables. They also need lots of food. So if you are thinking of getting a guinea pig, think again because they are a lot of work.
