This review is from: Raising a Healthy Guinea Pig: Storey's Country Wisdom Bulletin A-173 (Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin) (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book for people just getting started with a guinea pig! Gives you everything you need to know, all the basics. And the price is right too!

Her other book (Wanda Curran's), is this book just in larger print, with a whole section on showing your pigs at cavy shows. Also a great book, but not needed for the pet owner.

Every cavy pet owner should have a copy of this book. It is written by a lady who has based the book on her own personal experience of raising piggies. She tells you what really works.
