Average Guinea Pig Cost

You will need around four feet of space for one guinea pig and about 2 feet for each guinea pig after that. Cages with a second level are great because it provides extra room. Cages can cost anywhere between $45 and a couple hundred dollars. Some people use rabbit hutches which can cost a bit more and others make their own cages. There are plenty of guides to make your own online but they are not recommend if you have cats or dogs.

Other items you NEED:
Hiding house $5 - $15
Toys, chewblocks $1-$10
Hay ball $10 - $15
Bedding
Hay
Food
Fresh fruits and veggies

And of course, the guinea pig!
There are short hair, long hair, and show guinea pigs.
Abyssinian - medium hair, sticks up in points
Coronet - long hair
Teddy - short curls
Peruvian - Extremely long hair

I personally spent $80 for everything.
