When Blueberry first came home, we quickly realized that guinea pigs aren’t just “small pets”—they’re sensitive, social little souls with big needs. And when Ginger joined the family, we saw even more clearly how important it is to nurture not just their physical health, but also their emotional well-being.
At Tiny Zoomies, we believe caring for guinea pigs is about helping them thrive in every way—because a happy piggy means endless purrs, wheeks, and zoomies.
🌱 Strong Bodies: The Physical Side of Care
Guinea pigs depend on us to keep them healthy. Here are a few things that keep Blueberry & Ginger strong:
- Fresh hay always available (it’s 80% of their diet!)
- Daily Vitamin C-rich veggies like bell peppers
- Clean, cozy bedding that’s safe and soft on their paws
- Gentle grooming to keep coats shiny and nails trimmed
- Vet checkups—because even the healthiest piggies need professional care
💡 Our tip: We weigh our girls every week with a little kitchen scale. It’s a quick way to catch any health issues early.

💛 Happy Hearts: The Emotional Side of Care
Guinea pigs are deeply social animals. Blueberry and Ginger remind us daily that love and companionship matter as much as food and shelter. Here’s how we keep their hearts happy:
- Never alone—guinea pigs need piggy friends
- Play and enrichment with tunnels, chew toys, and new spaces to explore
- Gentle bonding time—snuggles, soft voices, and patience
- Consistent routines so they always know when food (and love) is coming
When our girls popcorn and zoom around their playpen, it’s the sweetest sign that their hearts are full.
