Yeah, and I don't even like them ;-; My parents got them for my sister for Christmas. Now they just sit in my room. The worst part is that they squeak really loud 
they purr in your hands when you pet them though
i originally had two guinea pigs, but they had a litter of 8, 7 died, the second original guinea pig died, and now there's an orignal and a one from the litter.
