About Us
CavyNest is a cosy corner of the internet where guinea pig care is explained clearly, kindly and without the fluff.
Welcome to the nest
We created CavyNest to help people give their guinea pigs a happy, healthy life. Whether you are choosing your first pair or looking for fresh enrichment ideas, you will find practical guides written in plain language.
What you will find here
Our guides cover housing and cage size, hay and fresh food, vitamin C, behaviour and body language, breeds, grooming, enrichment and everyday health topics. We explain the why behind each tip so you can make good decisions for your own pets.
How we write
We check advice against reputable veterinary and animal welfare sources, prefer cautious recommendations when evidence is limited and update articles when guidance changes. Our Editorial Policy describes the process in detail.
How the site is funded
CavyNest is independent and free to read. The site may be supported by advertising, such as Google AdSense, and by affiliate links. Ads and links never decide what we recommend, and we label commercial content clearly.
Join the herd
Cavies are social, curious and full of personality, and so is our community of readers. Tell us what you would like us to cover next at cavynest@gmail.com.
CavyNest cannot diagnose illness. If your guinea pig stops eating, struggles to breathe or seems in pain, call a vet at once.
