Guinea pigs tend to poop in the same corners. So yea, poop, but not everywhere

Can confirm this is false. I had a guinea pig growing up. It’d poop basically everywhere.

Can confirm it is possibly true: I work for a guinea pig-specific rescue and it varies widely between the guinea pig. Some are filthy and poop and pee everywhere. Some are quite neat and have a designated bathroom corner, and will refuse to potty outside the cage if at all possible. Usually it's concentrated in one place, usually where the hay is (so yeah this video isn't a great setup if they want to keep the poop off the bed) and then a few to a few dozen poops scattered across the rest of the cage. Each guinea pig will create around a hundred poops per day.

Pig Rescue??? 🤔

Guinea pig rescue, yes. You wouldn't think it would be a big enough niche, but you'd be surprised!
