Shopping Tip For Guinea Pig Owners

When you're looking online for accessories such as houses and tunnels, try searching under "ferret" or "rabbit" if you're not finding a big selection when you search under "guinea pig".

Many of the same things that can be used for those species' nesting instincts (excluding the things for ferrets that hang and/or swing above the cage floor) can be used for guinea pigs -- but are often only listed under the manufacturer categories. The same holds true for things like chew toys, food dishes and water bottles, and hay racks.

Additionally, there are countless retail sites that specialize in ferret or rabbit supplies, some of which are appropriate for guinea pigs. Some sites, such as The Ferret Store and That Pet Place, have launched "small pets departments" to accommodate the needs of other small critters like guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, and pocket pets.
