Should you get a guinea pig or a rat?

GUINEA PIGS TOTALLY!!!!!! Guinea pigs are great pets recommended for 7 + year olds. They eat basically any fruit or vegetable and love to explore which means tons of fun customizing their cage!! They have a very expanded language too!! They live up to 10 years are great pets to have!! i suggest looking up about them ;DHi this is someone else answering too.

I do agree that guinea pigs are better. They aren't nocturnal like hamsters and are adorable! Hamsters are cute too, and fun to watch when they're playing. Either would be an Excellent addition to your family and home!
