This is the first book I purchased after getting my new Guinea Pig. It is very informative on how to take good care of your pet. I still am though, going to check out other Guinea Pig books as well to see how they compare. One thing about this book is that it talks about the “show” Guinea Pigs. Meaning how to take care of your pet when you want to enter it in a show. I just want the “pet” side of it. I dont plan to enter my pet guinea pig in a show any time soon. I actually never knew they even have Guinea Pig shows!Bottom line, good book overall, just some sections you would skip and get to the pet side of things.

i liked the fact that the only thing cheap at Petco was this book :) being a new guinea pig owner i wanted to learn all i could to keep a happy, healthy pair of piggys. it had in depth information about just about everything i could think of. the C&C cage idea was in there as well, me and a friend are going to attempt it :) i would recommend this book to anyone starting out with piggys :)

I borrowed this book from the library after adopting a Cavy (Guinea Pig.) I liked it so much, I decided to buy one. It is very informative and detailed. For instance; Guinea Pigs are not Pigs, nor are they of the Swine Family. They are Cavies. (Cave – ees.) This book only rated four stars because it lacked One item I considered Vital Info.: How to identify the Gender of your Cavy. All books I read on Cavies recommend keeping @ least TWO Cavies, as they are social animals. But you don’t want to keep a male & a female together, unless you want a “gazillion” babies. (Yes, Cavies are of the same Family as Rabbits.) Other than this oversight, this is an excellent book, filled with color pics,and vital info. Highly Recommended.
