Piggies are also relatively low maintenance - not requiring the same amount of exercise as a dog. They also take multiple naps a day!

What should I consider before purchasing a small animal?

Just like any pet, bringing a rodent into your home is a commitment & shouldn't be taken light-heartedly. It's important to take some of the following points into consideration before taking a small animal home:

Do you have space in your home that is suitable for your rodent? Guinea pigs are quite sensitive to the heat and cold, so will require some thought around enclosure placement.
Will your rodent be in a space safe from other pets and curious small hands?
Can you provide the ongoing upkeep required around cleaning, feeding and enrichment?
