The “leave it on the shelf” list

Cute packaging can hide not-so-cute choices.

A product being sold for guinea pigs does not automatically make it a good fit. Read the ingredient list, check dimensions, and ask why your piggy needs it.

× Tiny cages with almost no running room

× Wire floors or glass-tank homes

× Seed sticks, yogurt drops, honey, or colorful food mixes

× Toys with mystery glue, paint, varnish, or breakable plastic

× Metal hay racks where a head could get trapped
