GUINEA PIGS!!
They poo a lot. They eat a lot. And they are amazingly cute. haha lol. anyways..they need a big ish cage..not too sure. They say it needs to be cleaned everyday but I clean it 2-3 times a week, depending on how stinky it is. They need fresh fruit or veggies daily to give them vitamin C. Timothy hay is also an essential part f their diet, along with guinea pig pellets.
Guinea pigs are lazy. haha they're happy to just sit on or next to you and eat. and eat. and eat. I read somewhere that guinea pigs know when to stop eating so you don't have to worry about overfeeding them (but pepsi and buddy seem to be on a mission to prove that wrong hah). I've also read that you need to give them a bath about once a month. You can use guinea pig shampoo, baby shampoo (thats what i use). Anything else is too harsh for their skin. Plus, you need to provide them with things to chew on to wear their teeth down. umm thats all i can think of atm, but i might add more alter.
OH and you have to clip their nails. hah now THATS a fun job.
But guinea pigs are so sweet! They are much more laid back then hamsters and they won't run away. They're bigger, so they're hard to lose, and they're great buddies to spend an evening with lol. I spend my evenings laying on the dog bed with them in my room listening to classical music (don't ask..it started as a joke but pepsi falls asleep when he's listening to it so i keep playing it lol)
hope i helped!
