A gentle and sociable little rodent, the guinea pig is now one of the most popular pets for children. Native to South America, it once lived wild in the plains and mountains before being domesticated several centuries ago.
Lively but fearful, it likes to live in groups and communicates through small, varied cries to express its hunger, joy, or worry. Surprisingly, unlike other rodents, the guinea pig does not jump and climbs very little, but it runs quickly and loves to hide in shelters. A herbivore, it feeds mainly on hay, fresh vegetables, and fruit.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the guinea pig: textured fur, small, round silhouette, and expressive gaze. An ideal model to enrich a collection of farm or domestic animals, invent touching stories or educate children about pet care.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
