My name is Andrea – mom, wife, creative mind, and guinea pig lover through and through. I live with my family and many little furry friends in a house near Giessen. Maybe you know Frankfurt? It's not far away – but my heart beats for the little, cuddly moments at home… especially those with fluffy guinea pigs.
It all started quite innocently. I just wanted a nice enclosure.
Not just any piggy. But a real little piggy paradise.
With a fountain, a castle, and cozy houses – a place where my animals are not just “housed,” but truly feel at home.
Ideas were bubbling around in my head, but when it came to sawing, screwing, and tinkering... phew—that wasn't really my thing. So I (as women sometimes do 😅) begged my husband to cut the wood for me. Then I embellished, sanded, and built—and realized:
I want more. I want the best for my animals.
Step by step, not only our enclosure was created, but also a vision.
🌿 I researched, read, took courses.
🥬 I questioned nutritional concepts, mixed food, adapted it, improved it.
🛠️ I tried products – and shook my head too often:
Many things are neither well thought out nor safe. Some things are even dangerous.
And then I knew: I'll just do it myself.
I started putting together my own food, designing accessories, building houses – all with one goal:
To care for guinea pigs in a species-appropriate, safe and loving manner.
I love sharing my experiences. Every day, people write to me who love their animals just as much as I do.
That’s why I founded LuxusSchweine :
🧡 For all those who want the best for their piggies.
🧡 For everyone who wants quality, heart and experience.
🧡 For all who feel: These little creatures deserve more than mass-produced goods.
Here in the shop you will find things that I use myself, love, and can recommend wholeheartedly.
And in the blog? I'll take you behind the scenes—into my life, my thoughts, my passion.
Thank you for being here.
And if you have any questions, write to me. I'm here for you. I promise. 🐹
Your Andrea
