Guinea pigs continue to be the popular choice of pets for young children, given their hardy physical constitutions and their generally cute and lovable looks.
Made more popular by the 2009 released G-Force, the CGI-live action feature managed to effectively make guinea pigs more popular as pets for children, delving into the secret agent and espionage genre, depicting the docile guinea pig in a more “aggressive” light.
Though the average guinea pig can be trained to do certain tricks, children from all over the world have been disappointed about how impossible it would be for actual secret agent guinea pigs to exist, with the situation standing as a testament on how popular they are as pets for children.
With their generally manageable sizes and their cute affectionate looks, the guinea pig is considered by many as the perfect pet to give to children. Easy to care for and not liable to spread disease, they are considered to be better options than hamsters because of one guinea pig attribute – their size.
As it is well established that children tend to be rough in handling certain objects and animals, tales of hamster injuries coming from unintentional “manhandling” by children are quite common. With guinea pigs, such “manhandling” scenarios can be avoided, given the fact that guinea pigs aren’t as physically delicate as hamsters are.
In terms of feeding, grass stands to be a basic dietary staple for guinea pigs, along with hay and other commercially available food pellets, making them easy to feed and have around. Guinea pig enclosures are considered to be required, especially if there are other domestic pets around, but situations where a guinea pig is readily accepted by other animals is known to exist.
Though the probability of a secret agent guinea pig stands to be slim, guinea pigs remain to be the smart choice of pet for kids to have and keep, easy to raise and interactive as interactive can be.
