WEBSITES TO EXPLORE
www.cavycages.com/
EXCELLENT WEBSITE featuring mounds of info and the BEST SOURCE for the type of habitat we highly recommend. Please consider investing in the purchase and building of the type of habitat referred to as a C&C cage. It consists of storage cube sections, available at many discount and club stores for around $15) and coroplast (a corrugated plastic material used in sign making (a 4X8 sheet should run around $20).

www.cavycompendium.com
A friend of mine began her journey as a first-time guinea pig mommy with information gleaned from this site.
caviesgalore.com
A complete website for guineas - everything from medical advice to what to name your new friend. Also a forum for questions and discussions.
AND SPEAKING OF FORUMS . . .
For those who aren't familiar with forums within certain websites, it's like a message board or a chatroom where you can ask questions, discuss issues or problems, chat with other Guinea Pig lovers, or just sit back and listen (or do I mean read??) Most have several categories such as GENERAL CHAT, MEDICAL QUESTIONS, PIGGIE PLACEMENT, I think you get the picture!
Here are just a few that we have found useful on occasion:
http://cavycages.com/forum/index.php
This is the forum for the GREAT website of C&C cages, cavycages.com.
http://www.cavycompendium.com/forums/
http://cavymadness.com/
Lots of good information about guinea pits and a good forum (their message board is listed under the COMMUNITY tab) where you can chat with other piggie owners, ask for advice and get answers to your questions.
http://guinealynx.info/forums/
Another message board (or chat room) for asking questions and getting advice from other guinea pig owners and rescuers. Do not be put off by their straight-shootin', tell-it-like-it-is style of conversation - there are some really good people who are extremely knowledgeable about guinea pigs who frequent this site.
ON-LINE STORES FOR GUINEA PIG SUPPLIES
Rest assured, I am not asking you to buy from these suppliers. Just thought you might want to browse around for various items such as feed, hay, etc.
www.oxbowhay.com
I have only heard good things about their products, especially their hay. If you can't find good quality hay in your area, this might be an avenue to venture onto.
OTHER WEBSITES WILL BE ADDED FITTING THE CRITERIA OF QUALITY AND VALUE
