Guinea Pig

And yet ... 

Your DD clearly doesn't believe what you say. And frankly, I wouldn't be encouraging her to get her own pets once she's in her own place: who do you think will be expected to look after them any time she can't?

As others have mentioned, I’ve had guinea pigs for most of my life and not one has been litter trained. You can catch most of it by having a hay lined tray under their food / water / hay but they will always go elsewhere too. 

Guinea pigs really need company, it’s not fair to keep them alone. I have always had a neutered boar + various sows together. I rescue so the boars were already neutered before they came to me, which makes things a lot easier and means I don’t have to worry about pairing boys up! 

We adore our piggies. We have two at the moment (boy and girl) and they live in a 6ft by 3ft guinea pig table in my office. Very spoiled! Will rescue another girl soon as our boy is 8+ years old and I don’t want one being left alone, even if only for a short while. 

Where do you live? Perhaps we could suggest a rescue to approach to find your little one a friend?

If you watch it you can anticipate them going as they stretch out their hind end before going. I did that with mone and was able to move them onto paper.
I am not aware of them being litter trained. Rabbits yes but guinea pigs no.
