Do guinea pigs walk on leashes if you teach them? I saw someone walk their guinea pig at the park before. How do I teach them?

Yes, leashes are okay for ferrets, but for piggies they are a big no-no.

Ferrets can use them. I used to have 5 ferrets and I would put them out on a long line each in there own leash and harness!

Make sure you state in big bold letters that it is not safe for Guinea Pigs and you are only selling to ferret owners. Otherwise it will just end up with another Guinea Pig in it, that would most likely hurt itself.

My guinea pigs would crap if I tried to put one on them. Oh, wait, not that they wouldn't crap anyway!
