Guinea Pigs Supplies – best guinea products!

When it comes to guinea pig supplies, one frequently overlooked item is the hay rack. Your pig loves hay and it should be readily available to her at all times. One easy way to do this is to use a hay rack which attaches to the wall of your cage. If using a C&C cage, you may be able to find a model with a built-in hay shelter.

Guinea pig supplies and guinea pig products. There is such an abundance of, as well as variety of, guinea pig products and guinea pig supplies available, and our selection is by no means scarce. The safety, health and comfort of your guinea pig will be determined in a large part by the guinea pig supplies you choose for your pet. Fun guinea pig supplies may include cardboard rolls stuffed with hay or treats, hay houses which guineas can chew through and stuffed animals or balls which are approved for guinea use.

Guinea pigs love to explore, and they are naturally playful little creatures. Guineas require plenty of fiber (in the form of hay or approved guinea grasses) as well as high quality guinea pig pellets and vegetable or fruit treats. Guineas do not respond well to being out in the open (as they are prey animals), and leashes or harnesses should not be used on guineas as they can cause injury to the guinea’s little body and increase the guinea’s stress.

It is possible in the pet store you will find leashes or harness that claim to be guinea pig safe. Please do not use these as your pet can be injured when struggling against the leash. Many people buy leashes with the intention of using them to allow a guinea pig to play safely outdoors. Instead consider building a partially enclosed outdoor area.

High Quality Foods – Timothy hay, fresh vegetables, fruits and a good quality of Timothy pellet food. (Stay away from pellet foods that have wheat, soy, alfalfa or beets as the top ingredients.) Use only pellets that are formulated for guinea pigs. Pelleted food that is labeled for use with small animals will lack the proper nutrients that are essential for your guinea pigs. Do not forget the treats. Guinea pigs love treats, so don’t forget them. (Most treats given to these pets are different fruits and veggies. So always keep some on hand.)
