Capricorn can be an underrated sign.

Loyalty plays a role in everything they do, too.

For this reason, Capricorns make great pet owners.

That’s a big consideration since not all pets require such little attention.

According toReader’s Digest, guinea pigs mirrorCapricorn’s traits.

They are independent and reliable, which makes them a good choice for the practical Capricorn.

Taking care of a guinea pig

Guinea pigs are unique pets.

Though they are rodents, they don’t possess the long tail that make many squeamish.

With an 8 to 10 year lifespan, they can become a treasured part of the family.

Feeding guinea pigs is pragmatic, something a Capricorn would appreciate.

They need to eat pellets created specifically for guinea pigs.

Therefore, most store-bought guinea pig pellets are already fortified with this water soluble vitamin.

This ultimately makes them the perfect companion for Capricorns.
