However, their digestive system is unique in a few ways:
* They are herbivores: Their digestive system is designed to break down plant matter, which is harder to digest than meat.
* They have a large cecum: This pouch in the digestive tract harbors bacteria that help digest cellulose in plants.
* They practice "cecotrophy": They eat their own soft, nutrient-rich droppings, which allows them to absorb more nutrients from their food.
So, while Guinea pigs only have one stomach, their digestive system is quite fascinating and complex.
