i have one, if you spend a lot of time with them and really work on teaching them something they usually get it but if you just ignore them they are pretty dumb.

Answer 4

They are rather smart, they can even learn a number of tricks. Maybe not like rats, but love to socialize and explore.

I tried litter training with not much success, but playing fetch and coming when called seemed acceptable. The traing was the fun part for them.

Answer 5

Guinea pigs are intelligent rodents that can be taught many things. They need variety and don't like being bored. Guinea pigs best learn a lot later than cats and dogs – while dogs are best trained when they are only a few weeks old, the time is right for guinea pigs when they are nine to ten months old.
