Guinea Pig Calendars

If you love cavies and want to show it in the kind of calendar you hang on your wall, go to www.animail.com for a wide selection.

Guinea Pig Shows

If you like pomp, celebration and want to show off your special breed at a show, you can contact your local cavy club for information on guinea pig competitions. Ask your vet, check the yellow pages or search online for a cavy club near you.

Guinea Pig Sanctuaries

Because of limited space and funds, most guinea pig rescue shelters stop operations after about two years. If you feel that you would like to provide a safe place for homeless cavies, contact your local government. Check on the limits set down for the number of guinea pigs you can keep at one location. You will need two large cages to house the males and the females. Also, you will need a third smaller cage in case a guinea pig needs to be isolated. Don't forget to buy lots of food, hay, toys etc. It's not cheap to run a rescue operation and it's unlikely that you will turn a profit.

Spread the word about your new shelter at your local human society, pet stores and at other animal shelters so people with guinea pigs that they cannot keep will find you.
