At age 12, Bella Lin spent an hour every week "scraping, scrubbing and power washing" excrement off her two guinea pig cages. This year, GuineaLoft has brought in roughly $71,000 a month in revenue so far, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. GuineaLoft's Amazon storefront sells hay feeders and no-drip water bottles for guinea pigs, but also acrylic cages and accessories for hamsters, rabbits and birds. While Lin considers herself to be a "veteran guinea pig owner," she's had to gain experience designing cages and products for the smaller pets. 'I'm kind of just the guinea pig girl'Outside of BizWorld, Lin's friend circle is void of other entrepreneurs: "To them, I'm kind of just the guinea pig girl," she says.

Bella Lin, 17, started a side hustle to give her guinea pigs more quality of life. In those days, Lin let her three guinea pigs roam her parents' grassy, fenced-in backyard just outside of San Francisco. She assumed the first, Snoopy, had escaped and she continued letting her guinea pigs outside — until her dad watched an eagle fly away with another, she recalls. But the glass was too expensive to ship, and her smaller guinea pigs' feet got stuck in the floor. Lin has owned guinea pigs for years, and has kept up to 10 at one time, she says.
