Guinea Pig Awareness Week, or GPAW, is back this year from September 19th-23rd. Endorsed by the British Veterinary Association and British Small Animal Veterinary Association, the week covers the five welfare needs of our guinea pigs. There will be activities dedicated to improving the health and welfare of guinea pigs; throughout the week, GPAW will be exploring what it means to be a guinea pig owner and share some top tips, uncover interesting facts and, of course, post lots of great photos!
