Guinea pigs can&#8217;t see in the dark, but they have sharp senses and skills that help them navigate their cage  such as hearing, smell, and spatial memory.

Most don&#8217;t do well as single pets, because they&#8217;re social, herd animals, thriving with at least one friend. However, some guinea pigs are human-oriented and transfer their social needs to humans.

This is because they are social animals that want and need the companionship of other guinea pigs.
