They are both friendly. The guinea pig will sit with you and let you pet it. They are calm and cuddly. Ferrets tend to be more outgoing and want to explore more rather than sitting with you and cuddling. Guinea pigs are cheaper to house and feed also. Guinea pigs do not need as much room as ferrets do as far as cages go,and ferret food is quite a bit more expensive than guinea pig food. Ferrets do live longer than guinea pigs. Guinea pigs will live approx 5 years whereas ferrets live about 7-8 years. Ferrets give off avery musky smell, guinea pigs do not. If you keep the cage clean, you will barely get any smell from the guinea pig. Long story short, the guinea pig is the less expensive to buy, house, and feed, and it is also easier to care for. Hope this helped!

hmm... defiantly no longer a ferret, because of the fact i've got heard their incredibly recommend. i might say a hamster, i had hamsters my finished existence growing to be up. They have been truly cool and relaxing to play with, additionally truly severe high quality. in effortless terms recommend once you first get them because of the fact they do no longer understand you, otherwise their wonderful and somewhat humorous :) yet guinea pigs are incredibly lots the comparable as hamsters, in simple terms greater.
