The basics

The life span is usually 5-7 years, but 8-9 years is not uncommon if given the right care and conditions.

Indoor housing preferred. Minimum of 140x60cm. Currently zooplus.co.uk have good value indoor cages that meet the size required - Plaza 140 and Plaza 160.

Summer housing - hutch and run. Hutch minimum 140x60cm. Lidded run at least 150cm long.

Winter housing - indoors if possible otherwise in a well insulated heated shed. A garage is not suitable unless it has natural light, heat and is not used for a car!

Temperature range - easy, if it's too hot/cold for you, it is for them. Ideal temp range is 15-22 degrees.

Food - Around 80% of their diet should be hay. Guinea pigs MUST be fed guinea pig food, not rabbit food with vit C added. The vitamin, mineral and nutrition levels are very different and lifespan will be shortened. Please do not feed lettuce - it has very little nutritional value. Favourite veg are usually bell peppers, carrots, broccoli and cauliflower leaves. Portion size is a pingpong ball per type of veg (2-3 portions per day, can be 5 per day).

All guinea pigs are rehomed as a non-breeding pair or trio, or as a companion to your lone guinea pig. I never rehome guinea pigs as companions to rabbits. No guinea pigs from this centre are to be used for breeding. If, for any reason, you cannot keep your guinea pigs I will welcome them back to the rescue.
