Introducing Guinea Pigs as Pets
If you are considering a Guinea Pig as a pet, this book is a good introduction to this fascinating but undemanding animal.
Getting any pet is a serious commitment and you should research the animal and its requirements before you make a decision on getting one.
Although this book is intended for older children, the pictures will appeal to lovers of Guinea Pigs of all ages.
The author has kept Guinea Pigs for over half a century, and has owned and run a pet shop for nearly quarter of a century, but does not hesitate to criticize pet shop keepers for pretending to know more than they do and trying to sell things pets do not really need.
