Salt licks are bad for guinea pigs. They don't need them.

Answer 3

what a lot of people arent putting is chew toys. these can be paper towel rolls (just the cardboard) and cereal boxes, anything thats cardboard.

you need to have some sort of hiding place for them. an igloo.

bedding, i like carefresh. petsmart and petco carry it.

Answer 4

A little wooden box with an entrance to the inside. Guinea Pigs love those types of things. Also, remember to put in bedding. But ask your vet if the bedding you buy is safe for your pet.  

Answer 5

Its good to have a salt l**k. (you don't need to but its good to.)

At least one hide box.

and a couple chew toys. (wood blocks and so on.)

Answer 6

Ummm....you should obviously have a food bowl and water bottle as you stated above but make sure the bowl is sturdy (ceramic bowls work best) because your piggy will try to tump it over...besides these basics you should also have a wire timothy/alfalfa hay hanger that attaches to the side of the cage because otherwise the hay will go everywhere....a hideaway such as the "superpet giant igloo" atetsmart....a salt block...wooden chew toys....and any other toys that you feel would entertain your piggy...here are some links to toys and accessories I have listed plus many others that I'm sure any piggy would love...

PS. NO excercise balls or wheels because they put strain on the

piggy's backs!!!! And make sure that the cage doesn't become too crowded...it's good to switch toys out every once and a while
