There’s always a loved one your holiday shopping list who makes gift buying a challenge. What do you get the guy or gal—or guinea pig—who has it all?

We have no idea what to get your Uncle Walter, but here are gift ideas to make the holidays fun and festive for your guinea pig.

A new enclosure

Everyone loves a change to pace in an upgraded space, and that includes guinea pigs. A larger enclosure with new enrichment activities can bring excitement to your beloved fuzzball’s daily routine.

Baby gate

Guinea pigs love getting a little extra room to roam during playtime. A new baby gate or play pen allows your guinea pig to run around, sniff and explore their surroundings up close and fur-sonal.

Pine shavings

Everyone loves cozy new bedding during the holidays. For guinea pigs, wood shavings offer a warm place to tuck in throughout the winter months.

Fancy, fun food bowls

Looking for a way to show off your pet’s unique personality? Accessories like fancy food and water bowls are both useful and delightful gifts for guinea pigs.

Water bottle

The water bottle in your guinea pig’s enclosure getting old and tired looking? Why not add a cool new look while keeping your pet hydrated and happy!

A new companion

Is it time to get a new roommate for your pet? Guinea pigs are very social animals who thrive when housed with friends. They also tend to get lonesome, which is why experts recommend adopting them in pairs—your human family members will be pretty excited, too.
