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.
