More Than Just a Pet Blog
At The Cavy Whisperer, we believe guinea pigs are family. Our mission is simple:
-
Share reliable, heartwarming advice on guinea pig health and care.
-
Celebrate the joy these little companions bring into our lives.
-
Support rescues and adoption programs so every piggy can find a forever home.
We combine compassion with practical knowledge, helping you give your cavies the best life possible.
The Cavy Whisperer started with my own herd of guinea pigs and the joy they brought into my life. What began as sharing a few photos and stories quickly grew into something bigger—a way to combine my love of cavies with my passion for creativity. Over time, this space has become a home for guinea pig lovers like me who can’t get enough of those wheeks, whiskers, and wobbly little noses.
For me, this isn’t just about running a shop—it’s about making a difference. A portion of every sale goes toward helping small animal rescues, because I believe every piggy deserves a safe, loving home. That mission keeps me grounded and reminds me why I started this in the first place: to give back to the animals that have given me so much comfort, laughter, and companionship.
The Cavy Whisperer is more than a store—it’s a community. Here you’ll find care tips, creative designs, and heartfelt content meant to inspire, educate, and connect. Whether you’re brand new to guinea pigs or have a whole herd at home, I’m glad you’re here. This is a place built on love for cavies, and I hope it makes you feel right at home too.

Mini FAQ: Guinea Pig Basics
Q: What foods are safe for guinea pigs?
A: Guinea pigs need unlimited fresh hay, daily leafy greens (like romaine, kale, or cilantro), and Vitamin C–rich veggies such as bell peppers. Avoid iceberg lettuce, onions, potatoes, and any other high-sugar foods.
Q: Do guinea pigs need a friend?
A: Yes! Guinea pigs are highly social animals and thrive in pairs or small groups. A bonded buddy helps reduce stress, improve activity, and keep your piggy happier and healthier.
Q: How long do guinea pigs live?
A: Most guinea pigs live 5–8 years. Providing a healthy diet, safe habitat, and regular vet visits makes all the difference.
Q: What size cage do guinea pigs need?
A: A pair of guinea pigs should have at least 7.5 square feet of floor space (like a 2x3 C&C cage). Bigger is always better! Add hideouts, tunnels, and enrichment to keep them active.
Q: Do guinea pigs need vet care?
A: Absolutely. Guinea pigs are considered exotic pets and need a qualified exotics vet. Annual check-ups help catch health issues early, and prompt care is essential if they stop eating or show signs of illness.
