    Guinea pigs have different personalities, just like any living thing. Some are more tame then others. Some are biters while others enjoy being cuddled and never bare their teeth.

    Remember that Guinea pigs really don't like being in the company of humans, they tolerate us, but that's about it. Some tolerate us better then others.

    There's nothing wrong with your pig, that's just his personality.

    Great advice Alty.

    They are very cute Guineas shawnandzach... glad to see someone who lets them out of their cage for a run instead of buying them and keeping them cooped up all the time :)

    You could try to litter train, but I've never had success with Guinea pigs in that area.

    Sadly, they potty, when the mood strikes they just do it. It's not that he's doing it to tick you off, he just has to go so he does.
