Guinea Pigs For Sale Melbourne


 When deciding to add a guinea pig to your family, you need to consider their care needs. These curious and acrobatic pets require a lot of attention from their guardian to ensure they live a long and healthy life!

The best place to buy your guinea pig in Melbourne is from an established (registered) breeder. This is an ideal way to ensure you are getting the perfect pet for your home.


Guinea Pigs are herbivores so a good diet should include regular fresh grass or hay, leafy greens, vegetables and a small amount of pellets. They should also receive a daily dose of vitamin C and fibre to help support their digestive health.

Hutches and Housing

The hutch your guinea pig will live in should be large enough for them to roam and explore. A minimum of 7000sq cm is recommended and should feature an activity area so they can interact with their environment.

Grooming and Cleaning

Guinea Pigs shed their coat regularly so grooming is an important part of your guinea pig’s care routine. Brushing manages the shedding process and removes loose or dirty hair, whilst also removing any lumps or parasites.

Baths

There are no specific guinea pig bath times, but if your pig is particularly dirty or smelly then they may benefit from a quick rinse to get their fur back in top condition.

Keeping your guinea pig healthy relies on diet, enrichment, shelter and grooming. If any of these elements are lacking or your guinea pig becomes ill, you will need to seek professional help from an experienced veterinary nurse.
