Expert Answer

A guinea pig lives 6 to 8 years and longer with proper care. Usually males live longer than females, since heat and breeding affect the female’s life.

Guinea pigs hear keenly and are timid, easily frightened; long-term stress and tension greatly harm health and shorten life, so give a quiet, comfortable home.
