When it comes to getting your guinea pigs, it's best to avoid pet shops. Why not re-home a guinea pig through adoption instead? There are so many lovely guinea pigs out there, looking for a loving family!

To help you find guinea pigs that will melt your heart, please consult this map of recommended guinea pig rescues.
