 What Not to Buy

  • Plastic Tray Liners
  • Mineral licks, they are great for rabbits, not for guinea pigs. 
  • Wood block chews, gnaw bones or wood blocks. Guinea pigs like to chew what they can eat. They do not have a great capacity to spit things out and chewing these items...well...
  • Hay racks
  • Carrot racks
  • Exercise wheels and balls - these are very bad for guinea pig's backs.
