Guinea Pig Rodents for sale in Kelso, Scottish Borders

7 Guinea Pig Rodents for sale in Kelso, Scottish Borders

The Guinea Pig, also known as Cavia porcellus, originates from the Andean region of South America. This popular small pet is well-loved across the United Kingdom, often referred to simply as 'pigs' or by nicknames depending on the breed, such as the Skinny Pig for hairless varieties or the Teddy for those with dense, plush fur. Guinea pigs display a variety of physical traits, from short and smooth coats like the American breed to long-haired types such as the Silkie (or Sheltie), and even distinctive rosettes in Abyssinians. Their temperament is generally gentle and calm, making them excellent companions, especially for children and first-time pet owners. They are sociable animals that thrive in pairs or groups. Suitability for pet ownership includes providing a roomy enclosure, a diet rich in hay and fresh vegetables, and regular grooming based on coat type. Keywords such as "guinea pigs for sale," "baby guinea pigs," and "guinea pig cage" reflect common interests in finding and caring for these adorable rodents. Whether it’s a smooth-coated or a unique breed like the hairless Skinny Pig, guinea pigs remain a beloved choice for pets across the UK.

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.
