Anyone own a Guinea pig?

My son had one that lived for about 10 years which is most unusual. She (Name was Miss Piggy) was a good little quiet low maintenance pet but like others have mentioned no matter how well you maintain the cages they still emit odor but if you do keep them very clean it is not too bad. You can safely leave them with food and water unattended for a weekend trip which is nice, can't do that with dogs and cats.

Biggest negative is the kids go on to the next thrill after a while and Mom and Dad are now doing the pig maintenance duties.
