Where’s the best place to get Guinea pigs?

[Brynn]

I’m hoping to get guinea pigs but I’m not sure what the best place to get them is. I’ve gotten previous pets from foster care, but those were other animals. Any advice?

The best place is with the help of a rescue shelter if you have access to one.

The guides below offer more information on adopting, and other guides for potential/new owners

Rescues (Adoption and Dating), Shops, Breeders or Online? - What to consider when getting guinea pigs
Are Guinea Pigs For Me? - Wannabe Owners' Helpful Information

Welcome to the Forum. Guinea Lynx has a list of recommended forums in the US I'm not sure if there is one near you though. Here is the link. Guinea Lynx :: US Guinea Pig Rescue and Shelter Organizations

Hope you can find 2 piggies in need of a loving home.
Sadly rescues are far less common in the US than here.

Meanwhile, you can prepare well by reading the information threads.
Ask questions if you need to.
Have fun and learn how to attach photos.
We will want lots of photos when you do get your piggies.
