items Because all animals deserve the best, and guinea pigs are so often neglected. These products are all tried and tested by my five girlies
This is hands down the best quality guinea pig food. It actually includes all the nutrients and vitamins a guinea pig needs, they can't pick their favourite bits out of it and leave the rest like with food mixes, and its a good price
Science Selective Guinea Pig Food
Guinea pigs need food constantly and so if they're ill and go off food they need syringe feeding critical care to keep their digestive systems moving. This is something I think everyone with guinea pigs need but especially if you have older pigs!
Guinea Pig Critical Care
These are my favourite hides/tunnels for the guinea pig cage. They have are a great size for multiple guinea pigs to sleep under, they have 2 entrance/exits so grumbling piggies can get away from each other and they look natural for my cages which I ...
Wooden bridges/tunnels
Guinea pigs will need their toe nails trimming every 6 to 8 weeks usually, to prevent them curling and growing into their pad. Unless you are taking them to the vets its much easier having your own clippers and learning to do it yourself
Nail Clippers
If you're planning on using fleece as a bedding then washable pee pads will be your saviour. Fleece as a bedding can be confusing but I use these as my base layer and they are perfect, they soak up all the pee - nothing gets below them and the poo ea...
Washable Pee Pads
For those using fleece as a bedding, bath mats make great items to go on top of your washable pee pads. As they're made for the bathroom they're absorbent for pee, they add fun textures or colours to the cage and they are often quite soft - my guinea...
Bobble Bath Mats
To keep your larger pee pads and other fleece items cleaner for longer using smaller pee pads in areas of high traffic (aka. under/in hides, next to hay piles, under water bottles, etc). They can be replaced every day/few days and it keeps the whole ...
Pee Pads
For those not wanting to use fleece, these shavings make the best alternative and are what I grew up using for my past guinea pigs. They're not very dusty and made of good wood for guinea pig use. They can still be quite easily spot cleaned but deep ...
Snowflake Supreme Woodshavings
These make great additions to a guinea pig cage because they don't take up too much room, make great hide for the guinea pigs and if they nibble them they're perfectly safe - which is a good job because my girls love eating these
Cardboard Tube
No matter what style wooden house you get, you and your guinea pigs are gonna love them! They are easy to assemble, spacious for multiple guinea pigs to fit in, most have multiple entrance/exits, and they look adorable! They may cost you slightly mor...
Wooden houses
Most guinea pig cages sold by pet shops are not big enough and so I highly recommend C&C cages. You can buy ones already built to size on places like Kavee but they will be more expensive. I just buy C&C grids like these making sure I have en...
C&C Cages
Guinea pigs love a soft hide and will probably spend most of their time sleeping in them, you'll also spend a lot of time cleaning them! There is so many different types, patterns, etc and they all add so much cuteness to your cage
Soft hides
Not all hides need to be fully enclosed as your guinea pigs get used to you and your home they'll likely sleep out in the open too. This bed is one of my guinea pigs all time favourites, she even looks like the guinea pig in the photo!
Fluffy beds
Guinea pig's teeth are constantly growing so you will need natural chew toys for them, this also provides toys for the guinea pigs! There are a variety of types and you can even get some for different seasons and holidays so your cage is always aesth...
Natural Toys and Chews for Guinea Pigs
This is hands down the best treat you can get for your guinea pigs - mine would probably sell me for pea flakes! They make a great treat for training, bonding, or just because
Pea Flakes
I personally prefer bottles to bowls for water as guinea pigs are prone to pooping or chucking hay into bowls and so I find bottles stay clean for longer. And as long as you regularly clean the bottles I personally think they are fine. I love a glass...
Water bottle
Although I prefer bottles, I also have a water bowl because it is easier for them to drink out of this, and I loved the look of the carrot bowl and had to but it! I find this is a great one, not just for aesthetic, but also its a good size and heavy ...
Water bowl
I don't like to feed pellets in a bowl as that's not enriching, one of my favourite ways to feed them is snuffle mats. This is a simple and affordable one but I have a big selection of them now so there is plenty out there for you to find
