Question
so Iam geting a guinea pig in a coupl of days and I just want to know what is the cost of the guinea pig with the food and stuf (I live in the USA) so thank YOU :)

Answer
Elaine,

I can give you an estimated cost on what you are asking as the prices are different from store to store and state to state.

Guinea Pig cost about $40 dollars at most sometimes at different places less.

Guinea Pig Pellets are about $8 for a 5 pound bag.
Hay is about $10 for a big bag.
Fresh food is about $15 to 20.

Litter is about $15 for a large bag.

Brush is about $5 or less.

Toys are of variety of prices as you don't have to buy just Guinea Pig toys but wooden ferret toys, wooden bird toys and such so I would say toy price is about $20 for a lot of toys and less then that for a few toys.

If you don't have a cage, water bottle, hay rack and pellet bowl, then that is going to cost about $40 or so for a cage, $5 or less for a water bottle, $5 for pellet bowl, and about $5 for a hay rack.

As I said before this is all an estimation as the price are different from store to store and state to state. The price I just listed are about what it costs me at the store.

Good Luck and I hope this helps.
              Take Care,
