Indeed, which is why I liked to buy Guinea Pigs as companions for the 2.5m boa I used to babysit!
I think Potato is a much better guinea pig name than Ferda.
AKA Sea pigs (Meerschweinchen) Indian Pigs (Cochons d'Inde)
Indeed a Paradoxal Pig
Our Morče aka Meerschweinchen was not so social. He was determined.
Tom's boa friend agrees apparently.
You can rent a guinea pig from the Nagerstation in Obfelden until your own furry potato dies. By the way, two is the very minimum, it would be better for you to have three or more because two is hardly a "herd".
Just don't tell Ticino Tom.
