You see, if our very special report on Guinea Pigs doesn't help you have a truly wonderful experience with your very own Guinea Pig - I'll give you your money back.  

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!

Still Not Sure?  Listen To 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!"
