Thanks to you both! Yep you sure can teach guinea pigs tricks, it isn't hard to do. Just give them time to get used to you first of course. With me when I teach them how to play dead, I just hold in my hand gently but firm enough to where they wont fall. They tend to wiggle when you do that though, and tell em dead, and it may take a few trys at first but after a while they learn what it means and will go limp in your hand for a couple seconds. To teach them to come, you may want to start out offering them treats like fruit or lettuce, and tell them the command and as with dead it may take a few tries before they figure it out. But every guiena pig has a different personility, so get to know your little friend first. But yes it can be done. @ Janet, true true lolz but she will see it I promise. I just got to watch her though, she's only two. Oh I forgot they can also be taught to give kisses.
