It’s illegal to own only one guinea pig in Switzerland. The squeaking rodents are herd animals and can get severely depressed when all alone. In an effort to enhance social rights for animals, Switzerland officially considers owning a single guinea pig an act of animal cruelty. For those who were already single guinea pig owners before the law was passed in 2008, rent-a guinea-pig businesses can provide your beloved fur ball with a pal.
