I love guinea pigs so when I found the cute kit below this article I had to show it. While in academy my roommate and I had two or three of them as pets. We were allowed to keep them in our room. However one day we took a couple down with us to our nightly worship service with all the girls. During the service we passed our cute critters around and one was a baby that everyone really loved. The baby guinea pig got stressed because it was separated from its mother while being passed around and started to squeal rather loudly.
The leader of the service stopped and looked our way and politely asked us to leave with our pets. We gathered them up and left very quickly. That was the last time we took them with us to any type of program.However whenever the fire alarm would go off no matter if it was a practice one or not the cute pigs went with us. The school would meet in the gym and we would be holding these sweet animals on our lap and others would want to pet them.

I have had many guinea pigs as pets and always linger in the pet stores checking them out. A big cage is required and it does need to be changed often to keep your pets clean and happy. The pigs soon learn that the opening of the refrigerator means lettuce or carrots and they will start squeaking whenever you open it as they beg for a treat.
