Did You Know…
Most people think guinea pigs are actually pigs. They’re not — they’re rodents! They also aren’t called guinea pigs because they’re from Guinea. In reality, your cute guinea pig is originally from the Andes. Did you also know that a female guinea pig is called a sow? Males are boars and their young are known as pups.
Many people may think that animals are animals and it doesn’t matter whether your female guinea pig has a “girl” or “boy” name. It’s okay if you’re in that camp, but we think female guinea pig names really suit those cute creatures. And really, the names are as much for them as they are for us, no?
Making the Right Choice
Girl guinea pigs come in an awful lot of shapes and sizes. Their fur could be short, long, shiny, or even dense and wiry. Their color could be black as night, white as the driven snow, red as a fire engine, or a mix of a few colors. It could be solid, patterned, or roan.
With all this variety, it only makes sense to have a girl guinea pig name that perfectly captures your pet’s essence. So let’s get started. We begin first with cute girl guinea pig names.
