Disclaimer
CavyNest loves guinea pigs, but we are not your vet. Here is what our guides can and cannot do.
General information only
Everything on CavyNest is meant to inform and inspire responsible guinea pig care. It is not a diagnosis, treatment plan or substitute for professional veterinary advice.
When to call a vet
Guinea pigs can become seriously ill very quickly. Contact a vet experienced with small animals straight away if your pet stops eating or drinking, has laboured breathing, diarrhoea, bloating, discharge, a head tilt or seems to be in pain. Never delay treatment because of something you read online.
Every cavy is different
Age, health history, living space and temperament all affect what is right for an animal. Check feeding, product and housing suggestions against your pet’s needs and professional advice.
Accuracy and updates
We aim for accurate and current content, yet science and best practice evolve and mistakes can happen. If you spot something that needs fixing, please tell us at cavynest@gmail.com.
Links, ads and products
External links are for convenience and do not mean we endorse every claim on those sites. Advertisements shown by third parties, including Google AdSense, are not recommendations by CavyNest. Where we earn commission from product links, we say so in our Affiliate Disclosure.
CavyNest cannot diagnose illness. If your guinea pig stops eating, struggles to breathe or seems in pain, call a vet at once.
