Our Most-Loved Products!

Midwest Guinea Pig Habitat - This cage offers guinea pigs 8 square feet of cage space to romp around in! It is easy to set up, take apart, store, transport, clean and expand. The canvas base can be put right into the washing machine as needed and Midwest cages can conveniently be attached to each other in an L-shape, square, or straight line. Please note, the waterproof canvas bottom must be fully supported underneath and covered entirely in absorbent bedding. We recommend 2 connected cages for 2-3 guinea pigs.

Kitchen Areas - These corrugated plastic kitchen areas keep cages clean and tidy by providing your guinea pigs with a large area for hay, food and water. Available for Midwest cages and C&C cages!

Timothy Sticks - These chews are made with 100% timothy grass and provide stimulation and enrichment for your piggy. They are also great for wearing down your piggies ever-growing teeth!

Balls - These balls offer a variety of fun textures and fibers for your piggy to chew and play with!

Water Bottles - Glass water bottles are dish-washer safe and are less likely to leak than plastic bottles.

Wood Tunnel - This bendable bridge/tunnel is safe to chew, and piggies love to zoom through it, sploot inside of it or hop on top!

Pea Flakes - These bite-sized treats are a huge hit with piggies, hamsters, rats and other small animals! They are great for training and hand feeding. Sprinkle some around your piggie’s cage to encourage foraging!
