Questions about Guinea Pigs??!!?

they do pee very often. and they poop a lot!! i had one and if he got scared he would urinate or poop. they're not very trainable but they are very sweet and loving. they love to explore. they can be very messy with there litter and toys so i would suggest getting an outdoor cage like a guinea pig hutch (like a rabbit hutch) they love attention. if you enter the room you're in the tend to squeak until you talk or play with them. they bite sometimes and when they do, its hard! so wear long sleaves when handling them and watch out for their claws and teeth. they will step in their fecies unless they have a litter box where there is a limited amount of little for them to use instead of it all over the cage floor. maintance level--7. you have to give them hay sticks and edible houses to knaw on or there teeth will grow too long. clean there cage atleast weekly. occasionally give them baths. clip there claws ( which is a whole other job in itself!! very fussy during nail clipping) they like to have a buddy to cuddle up to. i only had one and stuffed a sock with hay and litter and he would lay on that. (he loved it!!) theyre shy so they like to have a little box or hidin to go to (you can get mini igloos from petsmart for $10)
