FAQs

How much does a guinea pig cost?

In the United Kingdom, the cost of a guinea pig varies depending on its breed, age, and where you get it from. Generally, guinea pigs purchased from pet stores or breeders cost between £10 and £50, with some specific breeds potentially costing more. Adopting from shelters or rescues is often more affordable, with adoption fees typically around £20 to £30, making it a budget-friendly and ethical choice.

Is it better to have one or two guinea pigs?

Guinea pigs are social animals that thrive in pairs, so it is highly recommended to keep at least two to ensure their companionship and emotional well-being. Keeping two guinea pigs means you will need a larger enclosure and more resources, but this investment supports their social needs and happier, healthier lives.

What is the lifespan of a guinea pig?

Guinea pigs usually live for around 5 to 7 years with proper care, but some can live longer when given a good diet, comfortable housing, and regular health check-ups, making them a rewarding long-term pet.

Is it better to have two or three guinea pigs?

While keeping three guinea pigs can offer additional social benefits, it requires more space, food, bedding, and care, increasing the overall cost and effort compared to owning two. If you have the resources and space to care for three, it can be rewarding, but ensuring their environment is spacious and comfortable is essential for their well-being.
