About Prismatic Guinea Pigs
Mission Statement
Our mission is to raise healthy, well-socialised purebred guinea pigs with care and integrity, and to support families with trusted advice, quality products, and safe services that help every guinea pig have their best life.
Who are we
Prismatic Guinea Pigs is a family-owned, registered guinea pig breeder based in Sydney, specialising in purebred short-haired guinea pigs for showing and as family pets. Since 2007, we have been breeding award-winning guinea pigs, providing professional boarding services, and offering quality products selected from years of hands-on experience. Our commitment is to breeding healthy, well-socialised guinea pigs and helping owners give them the best possible care throughout their lives.
As active members of the guinea pig showing community, we regularly exhibit at cavy clubs across Sydney and have received multiple awards, including Best in Show under international judges. Our knowledge comes from real breeding experience, daily care, and a genuine passion for these gentle, quirky animals.
Our Services
Breeding
We breed a variety of short-haired, purebred guinea pigs for showing and as companion pets. All our guinea pigs are hand-raised, handled from birth, and come from carefully selected breeding lines bred for health, temperament, and quality. We offer baby and adult guinea pigs throughout the year.
Boarding
Our Guinea Pig Retreat provides a comfortable, safe, and relaxing environment for your guinea pigs while you’re away. With experienced, registered breeders providing daily care, your pets receive fresh food, clean housing, one-on-one attention, and the expert handling they need to stay settled and healthy during their stay.
Supplies & Complete Setups
We offer quality guinea pig products that we use ourselves, including cages, houses, bedding, food, hay, water bottles, bowls, and everyday care essentials. For new owners, we also provide complete starter setups so you can take your guinea pig home with everything you need in one practical, ready-to-use package.
Expert Advice & Support
Our service doesn’t stop at the sale. We are committed to providing ongoing information and support to help you care for your guinea pigs with confidence, from housing and feeding to bonding, health, and daily care.
How we started
We bought our first guinea pigs, Brownie and Snowflake, as pets for our children in 2007. I was instantly smitten by their sweet, quirky nature and surprised at how two small creatures could bring so much joy into our lives.
I started visiting local shows and learning more about the different breeds. I fell in love with the Tortoise and Whites and sourced my own stock from NSW and WA, then began breeding guinea pigs. From there, my children and I made our way onto the show circuit, exhibiting at cavy clubs across Sydney. We learnt about grooming techniques, what judges look for in a show animal, and met some wonderful people along the way. A highlight was winning Best in Show under an international judge who came all the way from England.
As an animal lover, pet owner, and breeder, I have learned as much as possible about guinea pigs so that I can keep my small herd happy, healthy, and comfortable. I have come to understand their little quirks—their likes and dislikes—and can tell by their behaviour whether they’re content, afraid, or nervous. I can spot when they are off colour and know how to look after them if they become unwell, including when to seek veterinary treatment. I am passionate about their care and equally passionate about sharing what I have learnt with others.
Our Commitment to Guinea Pig Welfare
We believe all guinea pigs deserve excellent care so that they can enjoy their lives with us. We provide animals in our care with clean cages and bedding, a safe and comfortable environment, as well as fresh vegetables, vitamin-enriched food, and clean, fresh water every day. We know guinea pigs thrive when they feel safe and secure, so we ensure all our animals are handled calmly, gently, and with love and care.
As registered breeders, we are committed to ethical breeding practices that prioritize health, temperament, and welfare over quantity. Every guinea pig we breed receives individual attention, proper socialization, and the care they need to become confident, friendly companions.
