No, they really like to interact with people. They are like toddlers, you can't take your eyes off them, even for a second! Do not use exercise balls because it causes back problems. Their backs don't curve the way hamsters and ferrets back's do, and it actually ends up hurting them even if they appear to like it. Your best bet is to use a corral (like a fence that forms a circle) on newspaper in case of accidents. They also love to be held, and are quite content to just sit on your lap and nibble fresh veggies or timothy hay. Enjoy your piggy!
Hmm, I'd say yes. I've let mine out and about in my room, and after that he's tough to catch! =p I couldn't imagine letting my piggies out in my house. One, because I have 2 cats. And even though sometime some Guineas' can be potty-trained...some can't or won't.... -GuineaBoo
Well, you might not need one as big- but you still want a cage that is somewhat big. An average guinea pig cage should be 7.5 square feet for one. How often do you let him out? because remember- for all the time your not with him- Hes stuck in that cage. So use your best judgment with this question- and make sure you piggie is happy and healthy.
No, they are not like koi. Feel free to give them a nice big space to move around.

Is a guinea pig cage the same size as a rabbit cage?
No I would get a slightly smaller cage than a rabbit cage guinea pigs are a little bit smaller than rabbits so they don't needquite as much space. Also take into consideration that rabbits have paws and guinea pigs have instead very sensitive feet so it is not advisable to put a guinea pig in a cage designed for rabbits. This is because rabbit cages often have a wire bottom which makes cleaning a lot easier, however a wire bottom will definitely hurt the guinea pigs feet- sometimes to the point in which they have to see a vet for treatment.
