Hoinkes Homestead

Hoinkes Homestead, American guinea pig, Bellevue, Texas, is a small family farm in East Texas near Fort Worth. Their breeding program follows established health testing and they maintain detailed records through recognized guinea pig clubs.

Animals are kept in spacious enclosures with daily pasture time and are socialized from an early age to ensure friendly temperaments. Both Matt and Linda Hoinkes grew up on farms and apply decades of combined experience to each litter, emphasizing gentle handling and natural feeding. Many of their guinea pigs have gone to local pet therapy programs, reflecting the homestead’s focus on well-adjusted companions.

Each piglet receives a starter kit including bedding recommendations and feeding guidelines to help new owners settle in. The homestead welcomes visits by appointment, giving families a chance to see how the pigs are raised before taking a new pet home.
