Useful Guinea Pig Links

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

 

MAGAZINES

 

Guinea Pig Magazine
The one and only pet guinea pig magazine available, published bi-monthly with a strong international fanbase and hundreds of repeat subscribers. Available on request at your local store (ISBN 2044-4400), at independent outlets in Kent and Essex, and available to order online wherever you are in the world.

 

 

GUINEA PIG CARE

TKCC 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. 
You'll find me on there as Laura-CCC4.

Cambridge Cavy Trust (CCT) & British Association of Rodentologists (BAR)
Vedra Stanley-Spatcher runs the CCT guinea pig hospital and BAR in Cambs, UK. Vedra has over 30 years of experience treating poorly piggies, and runs a number of training courses for those interested in learning more about guinea health and medical care.

Guinea Lynx
A useful, first-stop website for medical reference. USA-based so some information may not necessarily be as widely recognised here in UK, but still well worth reading through.

Cavy Breeders Forum
Useful base of knowledge especially for those requiring advice and guidance regarding pregnancy, birth and matters relating to baby guinea pigs.
