Is a guinea pig a good pet?

A guinea pig is a mammal, and mammals make pretty good pets.  And I’m really glad you’re learning about animals.  I’d recommend you get some books about mammals, and start with an old favorite of mine:  Animal Farm.  In it, you’ll find that animals are surprisingly well-suited for being pets.  Here’s a bit of a summary:

Yes that does help. Are they easy to take care of?

Honestly, some animals are way easier than others, and you should know that before getting a pet.  A guinea pig is one of those easy-care animals.  Other easy animals include hamsters, rabbits, gerbils, ferrets, fish, and turtles.  Cats are usually not so easy to take care of, although they’re fun to have around and interact with.  Guinea pigs are one of the easiest animals to take care of, though.  So if you like having an animal around, you’d probably be fine with a guinea pig.
