'''Guinea pigs''' are tameable [[herbivore]]s with a fast movement speed. Guinea Pigs come in three colors: Cream, Black and Brown.

== Acquisition  ==
Guinea pigs can be found in {{Habitats}}. They can either be tamed by a [[Work#Handle|handler]] or self-tame in a random event. 

Guinea Pigs can be bought and sold in other [[Trade#Faction base|faction bases]] and from [[Trade#Bulk goods trader 2|bulk goods traders]]. Guinea Pigs purchased from traders will be already tamed.

== Analysis ==
Guinea pigs can be farmed for [[meat]] and [[guinea pig fur|fur]]. While each guinea pig is small, they reproduce rapidly, so a large pack of guinea pigs can produce a lot of meat. Compared to [[chinchilla]]s, guinea pigs are not [[pen animal]]s, so they will need to constantly be re-tamed. However, guinea pigs can [[nuzzle]] and can be controlled via [[allowed area]]s.

Due to their high reproductive rate, guinea pigs can be used as bait animals. Set an [[allowed area]] towards the direction of raiders. This allows you to direct where the guinea  pigs go, and they will be shot at rather than your colonists. This results in less meat & leather than slaughtering them would, but can be useful in combat. Compared to [[rat]]s and [[hare]]s, guinea pigs offer a more valuable fur and can nuzzle colonists, but are larger targets and reproduce less.

They are one of the few animals that can [[nuzzle]], occasionally giving a {{+|4}} ''Nuzzled'' moodlet to colonists. Guinea pigs and [[monkey]]s are the only 2 wild animals that can nuzzle.

=== Leather ===
Guinea pigs have valuable [[guinea pig fur|fur]]. As clothing and building material, it has a few merits, but is generally lacking:
* Guinea pig fur may not have the best physical protection, but it has the best cold insulation in the game, protecting your colonists against cold temperatures. Guinea pig [[parka]]s are the most insulative gear in the game. In less extreme biomes, [[tribalwear]] can be used to protect against heat and cold, potentially letting you wear a [[jacket]] instead of a parka. However, guinea pigs are only native to tropical biomes, which ultimately limits this use.
* Guinea pig fur is very beautiful. However, only a select few objects can be made out of leather - a single [[armchair]]'s beauty is unlikely to have much impact.
Otherwise, the best use for their fur is for trade. It is a valuable resource, worth more than even [[devilstrand]].

Female guinea pigs produce:
* Baby slaughter: {{Icon Small|Guinea pig fur}} {{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby}} round 2}} fur per day, or {{icon small|Guinea pig fur}} {{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 3}} fur per 1 unit nutrition.
* Adult slaughter: {{Icon Small|Guinea pig fur}} {{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult}} round 2}} fur per day, or {{icon small|Guinea pig fur}} {{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult}}/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult}} round 3}} fur per 1 unit nutrition.
When considering a 1:1 ratio of males:females, fur lowers to {{Icon Small|Guinea pig fur}}{{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}}/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} round 3}} per 1 unit nutrition (baby), or {{Icon Small|Guinea pig fur}} {{#expr:{{Leather Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}}/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}} round 3}} per 1 unit nutrition (adult). A higher ratio of females will increase efficiency from there.

For the sole purpose of farming leather, [[chinchilla]]s are superior as they do not need to be retamed. Guinea pigs have some non-leather advantages, as listed above.
