This is my adorable guinea pig Chocolate!He is an Abyssinian.Anyway, if you are looking for a guinea pig as a pet, not food, look for one that is younger than 4 months old, but older than 2 weeks. Make sure all the pigs in the enclosure housed with the guinea pig you like have bright, clear eyes. If they don't, check another enclosure. If you can, hold your healthy favorite guinea pig for a few minutes to see if he/she is calm. If he/she is calm, healthy, and looks cute to you, hope you have $100 to $150, that includes the cage cost, food and water bottle cost, and, of course, the guinea pig cost. These animals grow up to weigh no less than 2 and a half lbs., and no more than 5 lbs. They can stretch out to be up to 1 foot long, and are normally 8-10 inches long. Guinea pigs make great pets, just don't let children 5 and under pet, hold, or (provoke(not recommended)) the animal without an adult around, or you may have a dead pet and need a shovel, or a bitten and upset child.
