How much are baby guinea pigs?
Guinea pigs can be purchased from 10-40 dollars depending on the source. If you buy from a chain petstore they will be more expensive than a local petstore or breeder. If you are considering getting a guinea pig there are many available for adoption through various organizations and rescues. Also check local papers or craigslist for guinea pigs. Often you can rescue one that would come with some supplies like cage, food and water dishes. The guinea pig itself is inexpensive, but you must take into account that guinea pigs need a cage, waterbottle, food dish, bedding, quality pelleted food, and plenty of fresh timothy hay and fruits and vegetables. I would say to get started a guine pig would be a $200+ investment in the beginning, and cost about $20 a month to maintain foods and bedding. A lot to think about before purchasing a guinea pig.
