Guinea Pigs make excellent pets – they are social and loving creatures and enjoy being held. Not only are they amazing companions, but they also are quite low maintenance. If you keep their cage clean and in a cool area, feed them regularly, and of course get in some daily cuddles, you are a stellar guinea pig owner.  With their tiny sweet faces and round little bodies, it’s no wonder you have decided on a pet Guinea Pig. Naturally, you’re going to want a name that compliments your new pet and you’ve come to the right place to find the perfect fit! We have compiled a list of our favorite names for females and males, for pairs (in case you’ve adopted a buddy for your buddy), a few great picks for black and white-furred ones, as well as a couple that are funny. Good luck with your search! Image Credit: Pezibear | Pixabay Female Guinea Pig Names
