I'd have to go for the guinea pig every time. They're cute and furry and have amusing little faces. And their little ways and habits make you smile. I don't think think I could really learn to love a reptile. They strike me a bit creepy, and basically, well....vacant! They don't seem to respond much, or even acknowledge your presence at all most of the time as far as I can see?? I never really 'get' the desire to own snakes either. Most of the time it might as well be a plastic toy in a glass box for all the activity they perform and interest they arouse. I guess I'm a warm-blooded, furry critter type of guy, eh?

I owned quinea pigs when the kids were little so am partial to them. they are fun to watch. When they have the freedom to watch walk across the room when out of their cage, they waddle like a kid with a sagging diaper on. They will accept food treats from your hand. Gave mine fresh dandelion leaves which they loved. At times they have subtles noises they make but their loud "Whee, whee, whee" squeal when they think you're about to feed them is hilarious. I had one that loved being petted. If i stopped petting, she move over to my hand and dig her head under it to bump it up to show she wanted more petting. Havent had a turtle but I would imagine turtles need less care. A guinea pig will need its cage changed often enough, fresh water daily, guinea pig food and give it fresh veggie bits like the peeled part off carrots that you would throw out anyway. If you handle them alot when young, they will become very sociable and crave your interaction. Give them also something to sharpen their teeth on a pet store.

I would go for guinea pig! Why? Here's why... They are I think, personally, they are more entertaining. They are easy to care for and lets admit it, they are all round adorable!
Although a turtle would live longer, they are very interesting creatures, but you would need lights and other items that are need to care for a turtle.
Go guinea pigs!
