Docile and social animals, guinea pigs thrive in pairs or small groups of the same sex. They require spacious cages (minimum size recommendations vary depending on species) with plenty of hay for both bedding and digestion, alongside fresh vegetables and fruits.  A balanced diet is crucial for their health, as they cannot synthesize their own vitamin C. Guinea pigs can be quite vocal and enjoy human interaction, making them good family pets.  Regular handling and grooming are necessary to maintain their coats and check for health problems.  Their lifespans are typically 4-8 years.
