CavyMadness provides those new to guinea pigs a friendly resource to learn the basics of guinea pig care, along with a large, supportive community of like-minded guinea pig fanatics to help answer questions. Founded in 1999, CavyMadness has been a portal - a "guinea pig concierge," - of cavy care and culture. The site features a Care Basics section and plenty of resources, but the main feature of CavyMadness is the thriving Facebook community.CavyMadness is also a beacon for worldwide guinea pig gatherings called PIGnics--an afternoon of guinea pigs and their people. Many PIGnics have sprouted up across the US and worldwide, so Pignic Central, another Facebook community that complements CavyMadness, provides information on these get-togethers.
