3.0 out of 5 stars Guinea Pigs: As A Hobby (Save Our Planet series), August 5, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Guinea Pigs as Hobby (Save Our Planet) (Paperback)
Run of the mill guinea pig book--it's more of a picture book than an INFORMATION book. It is more appropriate for pre-teens than for all ages, as it is billed as. The text is downright murky at times --if your guinea pig is ill or you don't know what Piggy's behavior means, you won't find that information here. However, the sections on food are very good--what to feed and what NOT to feed--and save the book from being a total loss. Also, the author has some negative personal opinions about Peruvians and Agouti guinea pigs that will DEFINATELY offend those of you who own/breed these WONDERFUL breeds of guinea pigs. (Can you tell I have a definate opinion here?)It's odd to note that on one page she will condem the breeding of Peruvians (because the long hair obscures eyesight and mobility) and yet on another page recommend selling guinea pigs as LAB ANIMALS. Huh? Continuity between the photograph captions and what the text is talking about is also a problem...sometimes you think the captions are for a different book. BUT if you have a kid thinking about getting a guinea pig, the basics are pretty much covered, the section on feeding is very good and the photos can be killer cute...that's all it takes, sometimes
