“When I brought home my first two guinea pigs, the pet store didn’t even mention that they need unlimited hay.” Just the first of many things I had to learn the hard way.
Our story

If you’re feeling the stress, I know exactly how you feel.

Hi, I’m Daniel, the face behind Guinea Pig Facts!

I spent weeks constantly worrying about what was safe to feed my piggies, how much was too much, and whether I was doing things right. Driven by deep curiosity and grounded in my scientific background, I set out to research everything I could about these gentle little creatures.

From complex guinea pig nutrition and preventive health care to identifying early signs of illness and exploring their fascinating origins, I wanted my piggies to have the absolute best care possible.
