Useful Guinea Pig Links

Below is a list of websites Laura can personally recommend, regarding guinea pigs and their care, essential supplies, rescues and merchandise for devoted piggie people!

GUINEA PIG CARE

The Guinea Pig Forum
A pro-rescue, family-friendly discussion forum, covering all aspects of piggie care. You'll find Laura on there as Laura-CCC4!

Kazzy's Cavies Community Forum
A friendly community who pride themselves on giving out only the best advice regarding guinea pig health and welfare, with a number of rodentologists on board to help you when you need no-nonsense, practical and accurate advice. Membership cost currently stands at £5.20 per year - this works out at just 10p a week, well worth every penny.
