Question

are guinea pigs good pets

and how much would all the suppies and gunea pig cost all together?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are looking for in a pet.

These sites can tell you information that would take me days if not weeks to type.

Cost can depend on many factors.

A cage from a pet store will cost you at least 40 and will be too small for a guinea pig.

A C&C is a much better option for housing and can be changed around.

Food: Piggies need hay 24/7. Preferably timothy hay, but alfalfa, bluegrass, orchard, and fescue are a few others.

Veggies should be given daily. Romaine, green leaf, red leaf are just a few that can be fed daily. Fresh pesticide free grass is a treat a piggy would love.

Pellets: The only good pellet brands out there are oxbow and kleenmamas.

*Do not feed piggies the pellets with all of the colorful pieces in them.*

Bedding: Fleece is the bedding I prefer, but aspen and carefresh are two other options if you want disposable bedding.

*Do NOT use Cedar or Pine.*

Bowls, water bottles, and cages are typically one time buys, but accidents happen and they need to be replaced.

If you want to get a piggy, call a rescue and ask about what it takes to care for guinea pigs. A rescue typically only adopts pairs, unless you already have a piggy. Petstore piggies are from bybs and mills and they are typically mis-sexed and sick.

Answer 3

Guinea pigs can be great pets, but they aren't the friendliest of the rodents. But after buying the cage and initial supplies which may run you about $30. You will need to buy food and shavings which will run you around $10.00 a week. Rats are much more social and love to be played with and held, and cost about the same.

Answer 4

Guinea Pigs are very sweet and easy to take care of, You can get a Guinea Pig and supplies for probably 70 dollars, you can keep them in a huge clear bin from target or walmart as long as you have no other animals that coul harm them. Also they are very fun, but not very smart, all in all I think they are a good companion.

Answer 5

guinea pigs are really nice and always love to eat there really cuddly

my guineapig chirps and squeaks when i open the fridge door to say it wants a carrot or something the really cute and once they get the jist of the danger of heights you can carry them effertlessly and they dont move.

gotta love the guineapigs!
