Our Journey Into Guinea Pig Breeding

Back in July 2022, we had a simple idea: to have a few guinea pigs as pets and maybe try our hand at breeding. Little did we know, that idea would grow into something much bigger. What started with just two guinea pigs quickly grew to 20+ and, before we knew it, we were fully immersed in the wonderful world of guinea pig breeding.

Watching the babies grow, and especially witnessing the mothers give birth, has been an incredible experience. The miracle of life is truly awe-inspiring—seeing tiny guinea pigs enter the world with fur, teeth, claws, and ready to start eating solid food and drinking from the water bottle within just a few days. It’s been a joy to watch them take their first wobbly steps and begin to explore the world around them.

Of course, getting everything set up for them took a lot of time, effort, and patience. But once we had our home and setup running smoothly, it all started to feel like clockwork. And the rewards? They’ve been more than worth it.

By May 2023, we had bred approximately 120 beautiful baby guinea pigs, all of whom have found loving, forever homes. Every single one of them holds a special place in our hearts, and we’re grateful to be a part of their journey.

As much as we’ve learned in this short time, there’s still so much more to discover. Caring for animals, big or small, is no small task. It’s a huge responsibility that comes with challenges, but the joy and happiness they bring make it all worth it. The love and gratitude we receive from our guinea pig families make every moment of hard work completely worthwhile.

We’re excited to continue this journey, learning and growing alongside our guinea pigs, and sharing that joy with you!
