Guinea pigs are domesticated rodents from South America. In recent years they have become quite popular pets.

Guinea pigs are lovable and affectionate pets. I actually own two guinea pigs, their names are Luma and Boba. While I don’t have any current pictures of them, let’s appreciate these cute guinea pigs!

You’ll notice in the gallery that the Guinea Pigs in these pictures all look a bit different. This is because they are different breeds, like cat and dog breeds. The Guinea Pigs in these pictures specifically are an American Shorthair, Crested, Abyssinian, and Hairless Guinea Pig (aka a skinny pig).
