This book is a must if you haven't kept Guineas before. It's written by the foremost authority on these delightful creatures.
Full of useful practical advice, and has been invaluable for us.
If you want a pet that is less work than a dog, and more fun than a cat, I can recommend a Guineapig. This book is an essential companion.

The author, who is a rodentologist with a huge personal collection of guinea pigs, knows more about guinea pigs than most vets. The information contained could be vital for the health of your pet, this I have learnt from personal experience. For example, the book covers teeth clipping whereby anaesthetic is NOT used however a vet would routinely use it with the potential death of the guinea pig. It covers absolutely everything there is to know from choosing, housing, feeding, ailments and behaviour. Full of colour pictures and is ideal for the complete beginner or the experienced owner. I can't recommend this book highly enough.

A delight to read! I am now fully equipped to enter the world of the Guinea Pig, secure in the knowledge that everything I need to know (and a bit more) is included in this excellent book. The author's enthusiasm for these animals is infectious and his text easy to understand without being condescending. The full-colour photographs are well thought out too, from the cute to the infected - I know now that I will recognise and be able to treat most of my piggies' day-to-day ailments.

The first Guinea Pig book I ever read and still my favourite. No other book makes ownership of cavies such a joy.

This was recommended to me by the lady who sold me my first two g.p's I am now the proud owner of about sixty, I love them all and with the help of Peter Gurney's book and some advice from him on his help line. I have learnt to give them the care they deserve.
