We have a guinea pig and they are the sweetest things! He is really easy to take care of. Food is about $8 a month and shavings are about $5. You could just use newspaper too. The most important thing is that they need Vitamin C supplements since they do not make their own and could get scurvie. I have taken him to the vet a couple of times because he was sick and hurt his leg. You have to be careful with them when they get sick/injured as my mom says "They are nature's quiters". Basically they give up on life really easily. They are a good low maintence pet that isn't too loud, unless you are getting a carrot out!
