Guinea Pigs Reviews

Guinea Pigs are the precious little fuzzy members of the family that we all know and love.  They are caring and love attention, and most importantly food.  But with owning a Guinea Pig you must know how to properly care for them. —  A Spacious Cage- Everyone owning a Guinea Pig should use the C & C Cages (CavyCages.com) One single Guinea Pig needs 7.5 square feet of room, and guinea pigs are herd animals and should have a buddy or two.  So always increase your cage size with each piggie you have :)  Besides your piggie loving you for the new cage, they will be… read full review »

My husband and I now have nine guinea pigs!  We never planned to have that many.  But they were all rescue (previously owned) and needed homes, and we have enough room and love for all of them.  I very highly recommend guinea pigs as pets for anyone who loves furry animals and are busy without a lot of time to care for them.  We give ours pellets and water when needed, and try to give them some carrot and/or spinach every day.  The cage cleaning is not a fun job but we only need to do ours once a week.  They are such sweet and cuddly little critters; they like to… read full review »

Guinea pigs have always been a part of my life and I can highly recommend them as a pet. Many people have had experiences with guinea pigs, probably mostly the type who live in a small cage and seem to have little or no personality. My advice is, get a young pig (preferably from a rescue, so many need homes!) and make sure you let him/her out for several hours a day. If you can "pig-proof" a room you can even let them be free range. I have always found that they will walk back into their cage when they need to use the restroom. — — This roaming time develops their personality so… read full review »

The guinea pig is a wonderful pet. I now only have one at the moment. He is quite new to me. I have only had him for about 6 months.  My other piglet passed away a year ago after 7 long wonderful years with him he was my baby. I thought I could never go on but this new guy has kidnapped my heart. The guinea pig is a easy pet for people who want a small pet. They can be a bit messy. But once you have one you will see you will get bitten by the love bug as well as me. They are very cute and cuddly. They are very smart too! After they know your routine they will cry for dinner… read full review »

You will find that owning guinnea pigs is not so true, they really own you. They are very good pets to have if you do not have the room for cats or dogs. They love it when you talk to them, and if you don't they sure let you know about it. — they can get quite spoiled with there treats, and food. They won't eat it if is not up to "par". They are very calming animals to have when you are stressed, or just having a bad day. There expressions can be quite comical, and for female guinnea's they can be the Diva's. — Wouldn't trade my 2 girls for anything, (besides, if  did my son… read full review »

My kids first pet was a Guinea pig, I wanted to see how they would handle it and if they was responsible an enough for a pet that would be more demanding of them. — They enjoyed there little furry friend and that they was able to sit and cuddle it was not long before we had to buy another one. Now getting them to clean the cage every week was a task but they showed me that they can and will take care of them and make sure they had plenty to eat and drink.  Great pet for all ages. —… read full review »

I have always loved guinea pigs. They are just so cute and I love there squeeks. I just bought a female, lilac/white, Texel. For those of you who don't know breeds, a Texel has long curly fur. She is so much fun to watch and play with. I love it when she popcorns and chatters while I'm petting her. — I highly recommend you buy one from a breeder or rescue. There are so many horror stories and truely upsetting pictures about petstore suppliers online. —… read full review »

If you want a pet that's easy to take care of, very affectionate and not much trouble, (somewhere between the independence of a cat and the "best friend" of a dog) then a guinea pig is just perfect for you!  But remember:  they get lonely in their cage and love to be held like babies; (they won't start to squirm to escape like a cat) If that would get on your nerves, then you'd better consider another kind of… read full review »

I have a guinea pig and he is spoiled rotten!!  I open his cage when I get home from work and he has the run of the living room.  He is very affectionate and loves to groom my feet, LOL.  He knows his name and will come when he is called (when he wants too, that is).  He talks to me and when I talk to him he moves his mouth like he is trying to figure out how to talk like I do.  I love him so… read full review »

guinea pigs are wonderful pets. They require a good amount of care what with special dietary needs and cage cleaning but they are easy to train and will be very loving once they are tamed. — When you buy a baby it will be very very frightened and you have to be very gentle as you try to tame it. gentle petting will get the job done. — They need special g.p food so don't try to use rabbit food, —… read full review »

Guinea pigs bring such joy to my home.  They've got the sweetest wheeks and whistles.  When I open the refrigerator, (where they know I keep their greens and other 'freshies') the house erupts in a cheerful chorus.  Keeping up with the cage cleaning and having to answer to piggies whenever opening a can of soda or going into the fridge are the only drawbacks I can come up… read full review »
