How much money is a guinea-pig?

Answer 1

Guinea pigs can be purchased from 10-40 dollars depending on the source. If you buy from a chain pet store they will be more expensive than a local pet store or breeder. If you are considering getting a guinea pig there are many available for adoption through various organizations and rescues. Also check local papers or Craig's List for guinea pigs. Often you can rescue one that would come with some supplies like cage, food and water dishes. The guinea pig itself is inexpensive, but you must take into account that guinea pigs need a cage, water bottle, food dish, bedding, quality pelleted food, and plenty of fresh timothy hay and fruits and vegetables. I would say to get started a guinea pig would be a $200+ investment in the beginning, and cost about $20 a month to maintain foods and bedding. A lot to think about before purchasing a guinea pig.

Answer 2

Around 35 dollars for a male.

It depends on the country. Most vets still have to charge full surgery and anaesthetic fees, which are quite expensive, regardless of the size of your pet.

In Australia, for example, having a guinea-pig desexed can easily add up to over $10, although country vets will almost always do the surgery cheaper.

Answer 3

The cost of surgery depends on the operation and the vet, and can be anything from very little to very large.

One should point out that Guinea Pigs are very small animals who do not typically cope very well with anesthetic treatment. A good vet will probably advise against a major operation. I love my Guinea Pigs and I hope you love yours, but the reality is that the little rodent has a life expectancy of 3..5 years (in captivity, well nourished). As pet owners, we are as responsible for good care and life of those which we make dependent on us, we sentimentality cannot drive those decisions.
