Cages: Don’t cheap out, they live in that for 5-8 years. Make it big, meet the minimum requirements, get creative and be safe.

Hay & Pellets: High end brands are worth the money, they are the most nutritious and will keep your guinea pig healthy. I recommend Kmshayloft, Oxbow Cavy Cusine or LWG.
Veggies: Fresh veggies daily are so important. They provide Vitamin C and other essential nutrients.
Bedding: Use what bedding works for you, make sure if you want fleece bedding that you are willing to sweep up twice a day and change out at least twice a week. Fleece bedding must be used properly, not just any fabric will do and you NEED an absorbent layer underneath.
Vet Care: Guinea pig REQUIRE this. It is not negotiable. If you don’t want to provide it, don’t get the guinea pigs. Not taking a sick animal for help is cruel and torture to the poor animal.
MESSY: Yes, guinea pigs are messy. They require a lot of daily maintenance to ensure they have a healthy living environment. If you don’t have a lot of time, are often gone and like to travel, pigs may not fight into your lifestyle.
