FUN FACT: For the New Piggy Owners – Did you know… a male guinea pig is a BOAR, a female guinea pig is a SOW, a baby guinea pig is called a PUP and a group of guinea pigs is called a HERD! And the proper name for a Guinea Pig is CAVY which derives & is shortened from (Cavia porcellus).

Adrian @ Guinea Pig Care
GuineaPigCare.com.au was created to pass on the many lessons I've learned owning and caring for guinea pigs since 2007.
If it helps just a few guinea pigs in the world live a happier and healthier life, then the site has done it's job.
Wishing all animals in the world... The true respect they deserve.
Cheers, Adrian @ GuineaPigCare.com.au
