I have seen somewhere people with Guinea Pigs on a lease?

If it floats ya boat then do it.
Doesnt matter what everyone else does just do your own thing.
I'm off out to walk my 1 legged parrot with no wings now.

The harnesses are not safe for guinea pigs. Their bones are very fragile, and pulling against a lead could cause serious injury.
Instead you could build a little pen in your backyard where you could give your guinea pig some time outside. Just make sure you are watching your GP at all times, and that grass has not been treated with any pesticides or used as a bathroom by any other animals.

Leashes are not a good idea. Most guinea pigs will hurt themselves trying to get out of them. If you want to take your guinea pig for a walk, you could put him/her in a baby stroller or something.

A long time ago, I had a rabbit and used to regularly take him for a walk to a large bank of Clover which was nearby. He loved it! I got a harness and lead for him and I am sure you can get one for your guinea pig as well.
Ask at your local pet shop.

No, the leashes made for guinea pigs are very unsafe for them. They bend their spine in unnatural ways and can cause permanent spinal damage, just like the running wheels and balls.

Yes but wait for the wind to die down or people will think you are taking a furry kite for a walk

I had one when I was little and we used to let it out the cage to have a run round but one day it collapsed and died..the vet said his heart burst with too much running around! I wouldn't reccomend it!

sure but make sure it doesn't eat anything dangrouse. How about walking it in your garden? Dont take it out on the street 'cause you'll get some stupid idiot stepping on it.
