What this site is
Rodents With Attitude is a practical guinea pig care resource for UK owners. The goal is to be straight-talking, genuinely useful, and honest about the difference between good care and the kind of advice that keeps pet shops in impulse purchases.
The guides here are written to help real people build real routines. They cover the daily stuff, the seasonal stuff, the health stuff you should take seriously, and the housing decisions that matter more than any accessory in a pet shop aisle.
What this site is not
This is not:
- a commercial shop
- an affiliate platform built around product recommendations
- a veterinary practice or a substitute for one
- a forum or social media platform
- a breeding directory
It is a site that tries to give clear, practical information without burying it under sponsorship, clickbait, or the assumption that you want to buy seventeen more things.
Health advice and veterinary limits
Everything on this site is educational. None of it replaces a veterinary diagnosis or treatment plan. If your guinea pig is unwell, the appropriate response is to contact a vet, not to keep reading websites.
The Health guide is intended to help you know when something deserves attention, not to help you manage the problem yourself at home.
Updates and accuracy
Guinea pig care knowledge continues to develop. What was standard advice ten or fifteen years ago is sometimes significantly behind where current welfare thinking sits. This site tries to reflect current best practice rather than repeating outdated information simply because it is familiar.
If something on this site is incorrect, out of date, or missing something important, please get in touch. Feedback from people who actually know guinea pigs is welcome and taken seriously.
