As I am in Denmark I have no clue, I looked a bit on preloved.co.uk.
And saw most seem to state £12-20.
How much does one generally without pedigree cost?
Also, (without the obvious more expensive skinny) is there any breed that costs more than others or generally the same price for all breeds (exception skinny)?
 
Pet shop prices are £20-£25 local to me, Skinnys are £100 or more.

WOW a skinny here costs only about £20 more than the others, the others cost about £28 for male and £38 for female, about £50-60 for skinnys.
 
Big pet store chain £15 each, two for £25 for three for £35 I think

Smaller independant stores getting them from reputable breeders (just normal smooth coated pigs) £22 ish
Reputable breeder pedigree (such as lunkarya , swiss etc) about £25

Skinnys - no idea
 
Not a clue - never bought an animal in my life - the only money I've ever paid have been adoption fees and donations!
 
I've seen in pet shops they cost anything from £10 to £18 for a single piggy. from breeders anything from £10 to £25 for a single depending on breed and sex.
Skinny pigs £80 to £100
Most rescues i've seen, worked at or visited have a reccomended adoption donation of £10-15 some charge more for a neutered male if they are privately run.
 
the last time i looked in my local pets at home (about 6months ago) i think guinea pigs were £25 each or 2 for £35 - they were doing 3 for £x amount but i wrote a letter to head office re. trio's of boys and ive not seen this in there since (although to be honest i rarely look)
 
:When i got my two female piggies (this was just over one and a half years ago) they were £25 each at dobbies. :)
