    • History:

    Like many rodent species, guinea pigs are remarkably smart and have long memories. In fact, guinea pigs can learn and remember complex paths, such as mazes, after a short amount of time. As pets, guinea pigs tend to be somewhat shy and they frighten easily. However, if handled commonly they became very amicable and loving towards their owners.
