You can find more variety breeds in those big pet shops but at expensive price.

I've come to Malaysia just a couple of weeks ago, so I'm still learning to get around town. Apart from pet shops, would I be able to adopt guinea pigs at humane societies or other rescue groups? I've located the website of a "small pet rescue" in selangor but their email isn't working anymore. Have you heard of it? Thx.

Hi Kenneth,

Your GPs are so cute. I plan to get a GP as a pet. However, because I'm a beginner, I really do not have any idea about caring for a GP.

Before I do get one, would appreciate if you could let me know whether it's difficult to care for one and roughly what's the budget for a start-up kit plus a GP?

Thanks.

Jo

Better get a pair as they need accompanies. If you want to make a C&C cage, I think it only cost u < RM100.
