The clip uploaded by the 16-year-old girl identified as Vitoria Muller sparked an online hate campaign as images of the animal spinning inside the machine were shared on the internet.
The Brazilian was heavily criticised for her cruelty against the animal - who luckily escaped unharmed - and people have called for her to be reprimanded.
The teen claimed she came up with the idea after being told by some friends to do it.Daily Mail reports.
A hashtag reading 'punishment for Vitoria' trended with Twitter users tearing into the 16-year-old.
Vitoria's father took her to the authorities, where she was made to explain the reasons behind her cruel act and was forced to apologise for her 'shameful behaviour'.
Her father said on social networks that he had punished his daughter, saying:
'My daughter was already punished for her bad behaviour.The authorities seized the animal and transferred it to a veterinary clinic to be seen to, but fortunately, the animal was not injured.
'The animal is fine and in the name of all my family we apologise.
'We all take care of animals in this house and we would never let something like this happen. 'We apologise again for all that happened.'
But Jen Scantland said on Twitter:
'I'm sorry but an apology for a 16-year-old microwaving a live guinea pig is not enough.'
