Is it true that Guinea pigs travel in herds in the wild? And if so could you give me a good image of a herd of wild pigs Guinea? I've always wondered what it would look like.
Guinea pigs Google Wild capybarras or images. Some are genuine and some p-dogs or chipmunks.
Yes, they travel in herds, with a dominant boar and perhaps a chance to "subordinate" boar (boar usually mainstream heir or son), with more sows. The young and male babies are challenged and / or expelled by the principal boars when they reach puberty, and travel and in bachelor herds until they start their own herd. Guinea pigs live wild in the prairies of high rocky cliffs and mountains of Peru.
Hope you find a good picture!

Yes, but I could not find a picture. Here is a link with some good information.
not sure
Obviously, Guinea pigs, we keep as pets are a domesticated species, they are not quite the same as their parents in the wild.
However, domestic pigs Guinea, and all their wild relatives and ancestors, are gregarious. They live in groups - never alone - which is why it is cruel to keep a Guinea Pig unique. Isolate a social species is problematic massive welfare and even affects their health.
