www.guineapigcages.com  If you don't have a cage yet, take a look here. You can build a cage that is over 24" wide and up to 6' long for around $40. I will be offering these cages at our rescue in the near future. I have no construction skills whatsoever and was able to put one of these cages together in 1/2 hour.  You can buy the grids at almost any Target store for around $13-15 and a 4' x 4' sheet of coroplast for $12 or a 4' x 8' sheet for $24 at Tap Plastics. Not all Tap Plastics carry coroplast though so it's good to call ahead.  Some sign shops carry coroplast too but the sign shop I called charged twice as much as Tap Plastics.

www.PetGuys.com They have great prices on many pet supplies. Shipping is very reasonable and quick, as they are based in Oakland area.

www.CavyStuff.com  - If you want to buy guinea pig T-shirts, magnets etc. I haven't tried them but thought I'd include it.
