Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Both kids and adults learn which foods guinea pigs like best, games they enjoy playing, and the care they need to stay healthy and happy. Books in the For the Love of Animals series are for new and inexperienced pet owners, parents whose kids would like to have a pet, and kids who simply want to know more about animals that make good pets. Emphasis is on building loving relationships between owners and pets. In this book, the nature and traits of the guinea pig are explained, and recommendations are given for interaction between pets and owners. The book is delightfully illustrated with vivid, heartwarming color photos and attractive pictorial charts. Several gatefold pages open wide to present photo essays and other visually attractive features that will appeal to both adults and younger pet owners. Topics covered in all titles in this series include: Golden rules of pet care ... Getting to know your pet ... Building love and trust between owner and pet ... Fun and games with your pet ... Caring for your pet in its old age. There are approximately 80 attractive full-color photos and drawings to supplement a fact-filled text.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book with excellent information!, May 11, 2003
After reading so many guinea pig care books with often inaccurate to down-right dangerous information, this book was a delightful surprise!! Wonderful and truthful information about environment and care!

I would have given it 5-stars but had to take one off for emphasizing the need for guinea pig companionship with their own kind and then *not* adequately dealing with prevention of the breeding. (The author, a behavioral biologist, believes in the animal's innate right to breed. Unfortunately, there are so many unwanted pets needing homes, it seems irresponsible not to address other possible solutions such as same-sex pairing.)

Overall, though, this book ranks as one of the best that I've seen and any guinea pig lucky enough to have an owner that follows the guidelines in this book will be very happy and very spoilt indeed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, reliable information, February 19, 2002
This book is pretty good at providing quality information. However, this book offers few tips about grooming, specific breeds, and safety information (ex: what they can't eat) This book has many good tips and great pictures. It also covers how to get acquainted with your guinea pig, which I have not seen in many other books. Overall, I would reccomend it highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Organized Guinea Pig Care Book, August 17, 2001
By A Customer
This is a well organized book on guinea pigs for both the novice young owner and a more experienced owner. The graphic designs and page layouts are especially well done. "Tips From the Vet" are highlighted effectively for the reader and there is a sprinkling of humor throughout. Almost all phases of guinea pig care are covered in a practical manner for both adults and younger cavy owners. I recommend it highly.
