Yes! they are very sweet but you do have to feed them and clean their cage. It is tough but they have wonderful personalities! if you don't want a Guinea pig i suggest getting a Betta fish. They are fun easy to take care of and live a long time!

A young and well-socialized guinea pig would be best for a 10 year old, as they tend to be more active and easier to handle. Male and female guinea pigs can both make good pets, but it's important to get them from a reputable breeder or rescue to ensure good health. It's also recommended to get a single guinea pig or a pair to prevent aggression and provide companionship.

Yes it is!!! My Daughter is 8 and has had her guinea pig for 3 months. As long as the child knows that she/he will have to play with the pig daily make sure it has food and water and clean the cage at least once a month. A 10 year old child is the perfect age.

Well, any type of guinea is good; but i'd recommend short-haired ones because they're easier for a kid to care for.
