You will also need to buy plenty of wood shavings for the bottom of the cage, & they scatter it around so be prepared for constant use of the vac, they are also short sighted & very timid, ones enough.
I wouldn't bother, they are more trouble than their worth, & can live a long time, so take future commitments into it as well, wil you want them in five years time.

Eh, you leave the Guin Guin Guinster alone. She's very menacing - sits on her house staring. If they made guineas rotweiller size, they'd be well scary.
i got a book on keeping them from the big pet shop in Ossy and use that as guidance. One thing they've not to be fed is lettuce. people treat them like rabbits and they've different dietry requirements. Guin came from a litter of 6 and they're all dead part from her because people took them and didnt know how to look after then properly.
Guin Guin Guinster is quite entertaining - she pop corns (jumps like she;s a nervous affliction) when she's happy; she & my dog have a routine every morning where she has a hissy fit; she asks for food and knows when the fridge door is opened. how she's learnt to associate fridge door with food i dont know. amazing.
