No no no. He he, they are not a guinea pig. Sounds like it though. You are very close though.
Rock cavies are a rodent closely related to the guinea pig. They come from the rocky mountain areas of Chile. They take dust baths similar to the chinchilla. I am currently studying them and I am planning on writing a book about them that should be out within a few years. They are very rare in the pet trade. Have only been around for a few months.
Here is a pic of a rock cavie. They look sort of like a miniature beaver or something.
