I'm new to the forum, my parents are visiting from Norway and they went and brought my son two guinea pigs for his birthday present.
(I know this probably doesn't sound ideal to most but I love guinea pigs so they will be very well looked after so don't worry)
They did however buy them from pets at home and they've come with a reasonable cage for babies but my husband and I are already making plans to make/buy a bigger home for them as they get older.
We've got an indoor play pen from when the kids were small that I'm going to make a bit more secure (so they don't squeeze out the gaps) so they can have daily floor time when they are feeling a little more safe.
We've got a super secured patio garden that they'll be allowed to go out to whilst in their run and there's also a small patch of grass next to our house that is actually quite well covered that we'll take them too in their run.
They came with all the bedding, food, toys, tunnels, hay, bowls, water bottles and vitamins etc I've been shown how to health check them and I've read all the beginners threads on here.
I think that's everything?
Oh yeah, they are called scabbers (predominantly ginger) and buckbeak and they are both boars
