Guinea pigs have a different anatomy then other rodents. Their legs are shorter and their back is longer. Their bodies are not built to curve like that of a mouse or hamster. Wheels and balls can cause all kinds of injuries. They can break their backs, become paralyzed, hurt their back, legs, and even their neck. Wheels and balls are UNSAFE.
Guinea pigs are also diurnal (out during the day) unlike other rodents. They get their exercise from running around their cage (which they do quite a lot). They also should be out at least 2 hours each day but, we all know that's not always possible.
