Wild species are native to South America. They live in burrows, and also occasionally in dense vegetation. In their natural habitat they have to be very quick to escape a great number of predators. In the wild, they gather in herds, which are led by a leader. In the wild, these animals normally breed once a year, although one species breeds continually throughout the year under good conditions. Captive cavies breed for 5 times per year. In captivity, these rodents usually live for about 7-10 years, however, some individuals have been known to live for about 12 years.

Cavies are small rodents with short, rounded ears and no tails. They have strong hands with 4 fairly equal fingers. Their feet are 3-toed and plantigrade except when moving fast. They are rather large for rodents; adult cavies are 10-12 inches in length, with an average height of 4 inches and average weight of about 2 pounds. These animals are omnivores. In the wild they feed on grasses, seeds, weeds, bugs, grubs and fruit. Their diet should also contain Vitamin C as they can not produce their own. Daily supply of fresh water is also necessary.
