🐹 "Comes with cage, food, and hay..."

We see it all the time.

Guinea pigs being sold or rehomed in pairs with a starter setup, usually in good faith.

But here's the truth nobody puts in the post:

A setup isn't a solution.

It's a starting point.

💡 Two females together? Great — but are they bonded well? Are you ready to intervene if hormones shift, space gets tight, or they start to bicker over hidey spots?

🪤 A cage included? Lovely gesture — but most off-the-shelf cages are way too small, especially for pigs who need space to graze, popcorn, and just... be pigs.

🌿 Food and hay? Helpful — but is it the right kind? Muesli-style mixes and dry, dusty hay don’t cut it when you're trying to support gut health and prevent dental issues.

We’re not here to guilt. We’re here to guide.

Because when you bring guinea pigs into your life, you're not just accepting a cage — you're committing to understanding a species.

And once you do? The reward is unreal. You’ll know the joy of a piggy purring in your lap, of perfectly timed wheeks when they hear the forage bag rustle, of creating an environment that supports them naturally and holistically.

✨ At GGT, we’ve been on both sides — the rescue pen and the treat bench. That’s why every blend, every chew, and every product we make is backed by behaviour knowledge, bonding experience, and a passion for what’s natural.

So if you’re about to welcome a pair into your home, or if you’re second-guessing a Facebook ‘for sale’ post — we’ve got your back.

Because guinea pigs aren’t just pets. They’re family.
