Yes. Cuy, cuyes. Different names. Named "conejito de Indias" in Spanish, bunny of the Indies, stedda Guinea Pig. It's not from Guinea. It's not African. It couldn't use the n word without getting fired even if it did talk. They would get a genealogical (Guinea-logical) chart and say, uh, not African, fired.

And yeah it's more like a bunny than a true rodent. I would totally. Totally willing to eat them.

To the extent I can. Like the way I eat chicken, eat the solid contiguous meat parts, I can't skeletonize chicken like other Chileans can. Like it's incredible, nothing left but bones, like museum quality nothing left to rot, dude like if you fed the leftovers to pirañas all those fish would starve.

Generally, we Americans balk at any eating of rodent. Missing out! Americans need to get on a Nutria diet stat.
