Guniea pigs dont really cuddle, but they will sit with you and it would seem like cuddling I guess LOL... They are very cute animals they do love attention though mine screams whenvever he hears me enter the room. He does not liked to be picked up though so we only pick him up to clean his cage, or give him a bath. Yes we bathe him because he has such long hair it gets matted and discolored I mean really long you can;t even see his face so we even cut his hair away from his eyes sometimes. The reason he doesn't like to be picked up is because my brother bought him at a pet shop and Shaggy was already a little older and he didn't take care for him so he never liked being picked up. my mom and I have taken him over and care for him. I have had a guniea pig that loves to be picked up Piggy Sue was her named she passed on to the RB she also squeeled when I came into the room. Guniea pigs need loads of attention just like any other pet and before you get one you should check out some sights they have great information before getting one. I would suggest a big cage..... They are people on here that have had gunia pigs and know more then I do they will post later probably... I hear them mention a site called cavy something or other if you search posts you will find it..... Good luck!
