Description
We have two male guinea pigs that live at our home. This one is named Jax and is a gray and white, American Satin guinea pig. Our other piggy, named Max, is black and white. They live in a large "mansion" cage haha... with lots of comfortable fleece. They get plenty of treats such as vegetables, and some fruit.
Guinea pigs are prey animals so they always like to feel comfortable and will run and hide from time to time. I just happened to spot Jax hiding out in his house. He had pulled his blankie over towards his house.
They are fun to interact with and they do enjoy communicating with each other and with us. They belong to the Cavy rodent family and are native to South America.

guinea pigs are very cool creatures. A friend of mine had one who would spend days building towers to get out of its cage, but once on the outside it didn't really know what to do :) Nice shooting Luke, F/L

I agree Dean... they can be fairly smart or at least trained to do certain things. They love to explore but not too far out of their comfort zone. They make a happy little popping sound when they explore :) Fascinating to hear the different noises they make and how they communicate. Very social with each other. They do the dominance "strut/dance" with each other quite a bit haha
