There is no significant difference in temperament or behavior between male and female guinea pigs. The choice between a male or female as a pet may come down to personal preference or the need to neuter males to prevent breeding. Both genders can make wonderful pets with proper care and socialization.

Both make equally good pets, although if getting two of the same gender, it is probably best to get two females, as males tend to fight and be quite aggressive.

What is a better pet and easier to care for a Guinea Pig a Hamster or a gerbil?

Well, of course it has alot to do with personal opinion, but I prefer guinea pigs over gerbils, especially as pets to smaller children because guinea pigs are personable and friendly and need attention, and they are also large enough to cuddle, whereas gerbils are smaller and harder for kids to hug, and also not as friendly - they don't need attention as much and in my opinion aren't the best pets if you're looking for a pet that can also be your friend. I had guinea pigs for 5 1/2 years and enjoyed every minute of it! Guinea Pigs also live longer than gerbils.

Seperate them if you don't want them to mate.If you leave them in the cage together, they will mate.At local pet stores Pets Barn, Pet Co. , etc. there are free packets with information on them, they are on shelves with other packets of information on other animals.
