i have had guineas for a long while they need no more care than a rabbit the only difference they are great for young children as they very rarely bit but they are asociable animal and need to be kept in pairs better to get two from the same litter as they rarely fight and they live for about 9 years so that has to be taken into consideration but they are lovely when you have more than one because unlike rabbits they talk to each other good luck with whatever you decide i will never be without guineas
