Despite the name, they are not pigs and do not come from Guinea. Their scientific name is \u003cem\u003eCavia porcellus\u003c\/em\u003e, and they belong to the cavy family, originally native to the Andes mountains of South America. They were domesticated thousands of years ago by the Inca and related cultures, primarily for food, ritual use, and companionship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically, guinea pigs have stocky bodies with no visible tail, short legs, and smooth or sometimes long, flowing fur depending on the breed. They usually weigh between 700 and 1200 grams and measure around 20 to 25 centimeters in length. Their lifespan is generally five to seven years in captivity, though some live longer with proper care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuinea pigs are highly social animals that thrive in groups. In the wild, they live in herds and communicate with a wide range of vocalizations, such as squeaks, whistles, and low rumbling sounds. Many of these noises express excitement, curiosity, or comfort. Pet owners quickly recognize the high-pitched “wheek” call that guinea pigs use when anticipating food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir diet is herbivorous and requires constant access to hay, which keeps their teeth worn down and their digestive system healthy. They also need fresh vegetables and a source of vitamin C, since, like humans, they cannot produce it naturally. Without vitamin C, they are at risk of scurvy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCulturally, guinea pigs have two very different roles. In many Western countries, they are beloved family pets, appreciated for their calm temperament and ease of handling, making them ideal for children. In parts of South America, however, particularly Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador, they are still raised as a traditional source of food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Borishotch Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666624446807,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/1050\/4791\/files\/GUINEAPIGBUST1.jpg?v=1757475727","url":"https:\/\/borishotch-industries.co.uk\/products\/guinea-pig-bust","provider":"Borishotch Industries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
