Hello. Guinea pigs are not native to NZ. They come from the Andes region of South America. I believe they are acceptable pets in NZ as they are very popular pets here in the US. All GPs are approximately the same size but come as different varieties such as the long haired Abyssinian or Peruvian, to the short-haired American. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Have you considered a guinea pig? Guinea pigs are relatively affordable pets and are considered a good companions and social. But, bear in mind that guinea pigs do best when paired with another guinea pig of the same sex, which can increase your costs. The guinea pigs need a large cage to live in, which usually cost less than $50. Bedding, food and toys can get pricey, but you can save by purchasing fresh veggies on sale.

The Syrian, or Teddy Bear, hamster would be the best choice for first pet. Allow the hamster to settle in for a few days then gradually acclimate him/her to being pet or handled. Always use praise and rewards after each session.

Hello and thank you for using Boop by Petco. Unfortunately, when I try to enlarge the photo, it is too pixilated to see the fine print and learn what it is. I would recommend to compare the ingredients. If it's a dusk free bedding, it's likely fine to use it. Please write again if you have any questions!

Thanks for reaching out about Miko. Different pups grow at different rates. If acting well and seems healthy, monitor. Competition for food can slow growth, try providing multiple feeding stations to reduce competition. If you believe she is ill, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
