Guinea pig supplies that are actually worth it

The number one food, unlimited grass hay every day. Bought monthly, so it is the backbone of the site's income too.

A small daily scoop of vitamin-C fortified pellets. Plain, no colorful mixes.

A soft slicker brush, a metal comb, and blunt-tip scissors keep Peruvians, Silkies and Texels mat-free.

Washable liners are cozier, cheaper over time, and better for long coats than loose bedding.

A roomy modular cage. Bigger is always better, aim for 8+ grids for a pair.

Prey animals need somewhere to hide. Two hideouts per pig keeps the peace.

A no-drip bottle and a heavy ceramic bowl they cannot tip.

Guinea pigs cannot make their own vitamin C, so top it up with tablets or fresh veg.

Safe floor time outside the cage for exercise and popcorning.

Small clippers plus styptic powder for stress-free nail trims.
