Is there much demand for guinea pigs as feeders live or frozen ?

I know my local reptile specialty spots will occasionally have them in. Rabbits are much more common.
Personally, I like guinea pigs. They’re cute and personable.
They’re just frustrating if you need to produce a large amount of feeders. They don’t have large litters. If there are more than 4 in the litter the risk of stillborns or mortality in the pups goes up dramatically.
Females also have a high rate of mortality giving birth.
