With the winter months now upon us, I figured it was as good of a time as any for a counter-article on what to do when things get chilly. As an avid guinea pig lover myself, I’ve always considered it extremely important that the owners of piggies and other pocket pets understand what to do to ensure their comfort in extreme weather.

Commercial suppliers may finally be shifting towards developing vegan cleaning products, but it’s still very much a niche market. Until these companies are able to cheaply produce and distribute their vegan alternatives, the products will continue to be outside of some people’s price range.

But like the old saying goes: where there is a will, there is a way! Fortunately, there is a wide selection of foods found in your average grocery store that can double as vegan cleaning agents. And they won’t cost you an arm and a leg to obtain!
