Guinea pigs are very social mammals that communicate using chirps, burbles, or squeaks to express emotion. In response to being startled, they have been spotted motionless or frantically scurrying. The staple food of their diet is grass. Their hobby is swimming: guinea pigs make very good swimmers.
Fun Fact: Mother guinea pigs can carry and give birth to thirteen guinea pigs at once.
