Guinea Pig Care Resources
On this page you will find some great videos and websites for overall guinea pig care and keeping. For 4 years I emailed these out to people who applied to adopt but now in 2025 I am directing inquiries here to this compilation of credible resources in order to save myself some time but still share some proper guinea pig care knowledge.
This first video is instrumental in providing a solid understanding of why guinea pigs need to be rescued as well as basic facts about guinea pigs:

The LA Guinea pig rescue is a fantastic resource with lots of good information. These are just a few of their videos below
but if your schedule permits, please watch more from their channel:
Scott Hale is a volunteer for the LA Guinea Pig Rescue and has several good YouTube videos as well plus he's developed a free and amazing Guinea Pig care guide on his website at: https://www.scottysanimals.com/
This next resource, Guineapiggles, is helpful too. They also have a YouTube channel with fantastic videos. I have included some here but there are plenty more so please scroll through them for advice as needed.

These next videos by Squeak Dreams are also very good touching on important topics to know.
A great website for information about Guinea pigs is called "diebrain". It will give you a different perspective on piggie care as it originates in Germany. In fact it loads in the German language but Google translates it to English. This website has excellent resources for other animals besides piggies too!

Another good resource is the Guinea dad blog at: https://guineadad.com/blogs/news
The Guinea Pig cage store forum is great too:
https://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/
And so is the UK based GP forum:
https://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/
This final website is great to refer to throughout the daily routine of caring for Guinea pigs, it covers a lot of good information.
