They can have rabies. Then again, humans can have rabies too. As can dogs, raccoons, squirrels etc. This is why when a bite occurs it might be wise to get a rabies shot. Most symptoms of rabies do not occur until the later stages of the virus.

no they do not.

Because guinea pigs are usually indoor pets, its unusual for them to contract rabies. Being a mammal however, it is possible.

There is no known documented case of a gerbil having rabies. They also do not carry the hantavirus - that's what mice carry.

What injections do guinea pigs need?

To the best of my knowledge, there are no guinea pig-specific vaccinations available. The only vaccine I can think of that you might want to consider for your guinea pig would be a rabies vaccine, but there are risks associated with this. There are no rabies vaccines that are validated to be safe or effective for guinea pigs, so it could cause a severe reaction or just not work to protect your guinea pig. The best option will be to protect your guinea pig by not letting it play outside unsupervised or unprotected.
