They were still small when I took their pics; more fun and lovely as pets than hamsters (we had a Syrian hamster once). Compared to hamsters, they don't bite but nibble, not too tiny to play with; and they don't run too fast and escape.
More about cavy (Cavia Porcellus) at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavy. As quoted in there, "Despite their common name, the animals are not pigs, nor do they come from Guinea."
They are so cute..... Aren't they scared when you snap the photos? Make sure you take a good care of them, they are sensitive with environment changes. My brother's guinea pigs dead many years ago.
