How I Learned All The "Guinea Pig Secrets"

If you can't tell from the headline, I'm a little obsessive about
these delightful creatures, so I initiated a massive research
project and surveyed almost a thousand people (812 to be exact). These
included Guinea Pig owners, veterinarians, and breeders.
"Guinea Pig Secrets" is based upon literally hundreds of 'word of
mouth' tips and tricks - secrets which are next to
impossible to find in books and pet stores.
This is
the gold which only comes from years and years of hands on
experience ... including all the hard to find Guinea Pig information
people just can't locate with internet searches or trips
to the library!

As you can tell,
I wrote "Guinea Pig Secrets"
as the ultimate Guinea Pig owners manual!

You'll
get at least 10 times your money's worth!
Now, this may sound ridiculous, but there really are at least a
dozen secrets in this book which can save your Guinea Pig's life, or at
the very least, extend it by several years, sometimes double! How can you really put
a price on that? And there are dozens more Guinea Pig Secrets which
can save you at least 10 times what you'll pay for the book in veterinary
care bills. Even just a few of the Guinea Pig Supply resources can
pay for the cost of this book within one month. We really tried to
make this a no-brainer. |
So, in sum, what I'm offering is the Guinea Pig Secrets Book for $29.95, but ...

What Our Readers Are Saying!

"Music.... I knew they liked
music but I didn't realize to what extent.. since getting this
book I keep a radio on in their room all day long and what
a difference ... they're quite calm and 10 times more
affectionate!"
Laurie Mansi,
Toronto, Canada
"A terrific and detailed
reference, more stylish and captivating than most animal care
books. I didn't realize that Guinea Pigs see in
color, and that color is emotionally and mentally stimulating
for them. Fortunately, my GP 'bachelorette' pad is very
colorful!"
Kathleen G. Blount,
Missoula, MT
"This book met my
expectations very well. Now I know that they hop when
they are happy!"
Neil Boyle
"I was looking for basic
care and food instructions, as we inherited a Guinea from the
first grade class room for summer and were clueless on what to
do. But thanks to the tips, we have a much happier,
calmer guinea pig and we might not be able to give her
back in the fall!"
Amy Holmgren Radcliffe, Iowa
"I bought the book for my
daughter. I learned a lot of important things,
especially what NOT to feed them."
Lynn Laurence,
Portsmouth, UK
"I learned that they can see in color, and that they
might enjoy listening to music. (My daughter's
guinea pig really does!"
Heidi Bruzina
Cincinnati, OH
"I learned a lot about guinea pig behavior, training, and
feeding on the very first night, and I'm still reading...
working on making them 'jump for joy!'"
Tammy Ward,
Leduc, Alberta, Canada
"Since reading your book
we purchased another piggy to keep our first one
company (we had inherited him from friends and his companion
had died) and they seem really happy together!"
Lisa Chanson,
Barbados
"Biting was one of the main things we were looking for.
We have one that will nibble and then bite... The book
met my expectations very well."
Amerylis,
Verona VA
"Excellent! You answered all my questions! I really got
engrossed in reading it. I loved learning about the sounds
they make and what they mean. My kids look up the sounds now
when they hear him making it just to see what he is feeling.
There was so much I learned ... about their teeth, their toys,
different foods I could feed him ... well worth the money!"
Flo Smith,
Cape May Court House, NJ
"I was looking for
information on all aspects of guinea pig care, and I
found this book to be very fulfilling! Most surprising
was what I learned about the jumping they do called 'popcorning'"
Jennifer Krosting,
Crowley, TX
"I also purchased Peter
Gurney's book and the two complemented each other."
Valerie,
Minneapolis, MN
"[I learned] lots of
things! Their colorful vision, not to buy cedar scented
covering for the bottom of the cage. I most enjoyed learning
some about the noises the guinea makes, we have started
talking to him and he talks back. We also "get the
message" when he wants a carrot or apple.
Most important we
learned lots about their medical needs. This will be most
helpful in keeping him in good health."

"I really must say that
you did a wonderful job on putting the guinea pig book
together. I am so happy that I did decide to purchase it. I
have some other books on pigs but they don't cover some of the
areas as well as you have. I had been receiving some
of your tips and secrets and the more I read the more
intrigued I became. The book was EXCELLENT and then
some."
Joni Bell
Brewer, ME
"We located a guinea pig shelter here & ended up getting 4
more. We are more than satisfied with the information given in
your book. We were most interested in what they can & can not
eat. We did not know that they are not supposed to eat green
beans! The favorites of ours seem to be kale, romaine lettuce,
carrots, cucumbers & watermelon. They have very good
appetites!"
Tricia & Marvin
Charlotte, NC
"It was really a great refresher for me because I had
guinea pigs as a little girl. I learned some fascinating
things."
Kristy Comerford
St. Petersberg, FL
"I purchased two girl
Guniea Pigs (Flo & Gertie) at the beginning of the year and
even though I had kept them as a child I wanted to make
sure that our son knew how to look after them as some years
have rolled by since I last had them.
The book was so
helpful, I learnt things that I never knew! We had
been hoping to breed our girls in order to create our
own little colony, but learned that their hips fuse at
8-months so we decided not to attempt this."
Kirsty Fowler,
Sevenoaks, England, UK
"I really enjoyed the
chapter on their communication with each other and with me.
My children tell me it is sure obvious whenever I call to them
or talk to them. They know my voice and hands well and
they respond differently than when my children hold them."
Debra Miles,
Roy, UT
"Much more informative
than the books I purchased at the pet store!"
Debra Kelly
Pearl River, NY
"I had read numerous
books on Guinea Pigs and thought yours would be the same...I
was wrong! You touched on every possible topic involving
cavies and answered every question I had. I also liked how
your writing style was so informative and easy to understand,
yet it wasn't specifically geared toward children as some of
the other books I purchased were. ( I am an adult who
purchased my first cavy). Any age could benefit from your
informative book!
[I loved] learning how
they communicate...they are amazing! I was also surprised to
find out that the exercise balls are not recommended for
cavies...I had purchased one and planned on introducing it to
him when he got a little bigger but now I certainly will not."
Mary Ellen Jessop
West Greenwich,
Rhode Island
"I have had guinea
pigs on and off for twenty years, and your book gave me more
info than the total of books I have read and/or purchased
about guinea pigs! There is nothing that I
can think of that was left out!"
