🐹 Guinea Pig Care 101 🐾

New to piggy parenting or need a refresher? Samianna & Ceamuel are here to help! Here’s everything your guinea pigs need to thrive:

🏡 Hidings

Piggies are prey animals and need cozy hideouts to feel safe. No hidey = anxious piggy!

🧺 Rugs

Forget dusty bedding! We switched to rugs after Samianna got a respiratory infection from dusty bedding — vet bills were high, but she recovered once we made the change.🐹 Rugs keep feet dry, clean up easily, and sneeze-free. Plus, they’re eco-friendly!

🌾 Unlimited Hay

Hay is life. It keeps digestion running smooth and teeth trimmed. Always fresh, always available!

💧 Unlimited Water

Piggies drink up to 100ml a day! Refill often and use filtered tap water for a healthy, hydrated floof.

🥣 Pellets

Samianna & Ceamuel love theirs, but pellets must be limited. Adults only need 1/8 cup per day to avoid weight issues.

🍊 Vitamin C

Guinea pigs can’t produce their own vitamin C. Use cookies or veggies, never water drops, to keep them scurvy-free and strong.


✨ Whether you’re a new piggy parent or a seasoned squeaker, these basics are must-haves for a happy, healthy guinea pig life.
