Enjoyed Book Ver Much!

I bought this book because I am a new owner of a guinea pig which I adopted a guinea pig from a rescue. The title caught my eye because I am a adult guinea pig owner. I have read this book a few times to refer to some questions I had about my guinea pig. I recommend this book

All questions are answered!!

This book is great, especially for those behavior's that you just can't explain. It has been helpful for me when I take my pigs to the vet for check-ups or any health problems because I can understand most of what they tell me may be wrong. I adopted one of the pigs from reviewer bunsnpigs and she recommended this boook now I'll recommend it to anyone with a pig.

A Grown-Up's Guide to Guinea Pigs

This book would be a great addition to any guinea pig owners library! I like the list of guinea pid foods and the vitamin and calcuim contents. It has a nice section on how to better take of an aging guinea pigs and other medical problems in guinea pigs. The author obviously has a love and great knowledge of these little furry friends.

The Best of the Guinea Pig care manuals

I've owned a number of guinea pigs over the years, and had to rely on books from the local pet store obviously aimed at children. I bought this book for my husband and he read the whole thing through Christmas Day, much of it aloud - he was so excited to have so many things about our pet explained! Especially helpful is the information about nutrtion. We also recently purchased Diseases of Domestic Guinea pigs, but if you're going to have just one Guinea Pig care book this is the one to get.

What Adults/Parents Need to Know on Guinea Pig Care

I recommend this book to all my adopters. Its really the best one around for learning everything you need to know to bring a guinea pig into your home and properly care for him/her/them. While many parents want their children to take care of them, the truth is that parents will always have the primary responsibility, so even if you know nothing about piggies, you will know it all by the time you are finished. Its fun reading, too.
