until i saw their little legs and watched them run around. they’re so silly

never owned one before, but i love exotic pets (going to school to be a vet tech, my dream job is to work in a vets office that works with weird pocket pets hehe). I have experience with rats, mice, and hedgehogs (dogs and cats too ofc but that’s irrelevant). i’m willing to do the research needed, as i’ve had similarly high maintenance animals in the past so i def have an idea of what i’m getting into. i just want to know if taking the time to research guinea pig husbandry is worth it. are they expressive and have big personalities like rats or do they prefer solitude and only come out at night like hedgehogs? do males and females have vastly different personality types (on average) or is it equally diverse regardless of sex? i ask because with rats, males are typically seen as lazy and cuddly while females are very active and move around a bunch lol. was wondering if pigs are the same way
