I've been tempted to get two guinea pigs as pets (two because I read they are happier with a friend). I had one when I was a child but I'm pretty sure we didn't take care of him properly. He had a wire cage and we never gave him hay, which I read is a big part of their diets.
My question to any guinea pig owners is, are they affectionate? Do they play with you and have fun? I don't have much experience with rodents so I don't even really know how you would play with a guinea pig. Also, are they ever really potty trained or do they just kind of go whenever and wherever?
