  1. HayPigs! Guinea Pig Café hideout

    HayPigs! Guinea Pig Café hideout

    Pros

    • Several exits, so piggies don't get cornered.
    • Chew-safe wood.

    Cons

    • Needs a bit of floor space.

  2. HayPigs! Cavy Cannonball tilting tunnel

    HayPigs! Cavy Cannonball tilting tunnel

    A seesaw tunnel that tips as a guinea pig runs through it. The cardboard tube is safe to chew, and hay stuffed in the middle gets them pushing it back and forth.

    Pros

    • Gets them moving.

    Cons

    • The cardboard tube needs replacing in time.

  4. Small Pet Select 2nd cutting timothy hay, 5.44kg

    Small Pet Select 2nd cutting timothy hay, 5.44kg

    Hay makes up most of a guinea pig's diet. This is leafy second-cut timothy with soft stems, the brand's most popular cut, and a 5.44kg box lasts a good while.

    Pros

    • Something they will definitely use.

    Cons

    • A practical gift rather than a fun one.

  5. Small Pet Select Vitamin C Support, 120g

    Small Pet Select Vitamin C Support, 120g

    Guinea pigs can't make their own vitamin C. These crunchy timothy hay biscuits have herbs and added vitamin C, with no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

    Pros

    • Fills a real need for guinea pigs.

    Cons

    • A supplement, not a replacement for fresh veg.

What to buy someone who loves guinea pigs

Guinea pigs need hay, vitamin C and places to hide, so gifts for the pets themselves are the ones owners appreciate most. The best gifts for guinea pig owners are good hay, a sturdy hideout and toys that get the piggies moving. Check the size of their cage before buying a house. Treats are an easy small extra.
