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.
