🐹 Everything a new guinea pig owner needs (plus the pet-store trap)
Hey there 👋
Welcome to the first-ever Guinea Giggles newsletter. I'm Thomas — dad, guinea pig wrangler, and assistant to Banana and Creamy, the two pigs who run this place.
This week on the blog:
📖 The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Guinea Pig Care — the five non-negotiables, the real cost, and the three mistakes every beginner makes (including the pet-store cage trap).
🛒 15 Guinea Pig Essentials Worth Buying — the only shopping list you need, in order, with the stuff to skip.
🐹 Pig update: Creamy has decided the new tunnel is hers and hers alone. Banana has filed a formal complaint (wheeking, sustained).
🖨️ Free printable: our one-page safe/unsafe food chart — stick it on the fridge.
See you next week, Thomas, Banana & Creamy
P.S. Reply to this email with a photo of your pigs — we feature reader pigs every month.
This is the web version of a Guinea Giggles weekly newsletter. Educational information, not a diagnosis; ask a guinea-pig-experienced veterinarian about your pigs' health.
