[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks! I had been looking into that adoption site. It also got me thinking about fostering. So much less commitment. Do guinea pigs interact with people the way rats can? (ie, do they actually enjoy being held and petted? Do they play with people? They always seem rather passive and indifferent to me, like rabbits, but I never had one.)[/quote] Yes, just like rats, most guinea pigs like to be held and petted but they have to be trained and get used to you. You didn't say how old your son is but as an fyi small animals like this make a poor choice of pets for kids under age 8 or so. The animals are fragile and kids can squeeze to hard - on accident or on purpose - and may be rougher than they intend to be. [/quote]
