My Guinea Pig

by Immanuel Birmelin

My Guinea Pig provides authoritative advice on caging, feeding, health care, and more, alongside vivid color photos. Titles in the My Pet series of pet care books are especially focused to answer the questions and meet the needs of inexperienced and soon-to-be animal owners. My Pet books combine detailed instruction and advice in a somewhat larger format than B.E.S. popular Pet Owner's Manuals and Pet Handbooks. They also feature more than 250 color photos, eye-catching and informative sidebars, and colorfully illustrated cover flaps. The text is clearly written, and accessible both to adults and older children.

Bets book on guinea pig care

I've been through a few books on guinea book care and this is my favorite one! The author is a biologist from Germany who spent more than 8 years to research on guinea pigs, what can be more reassuring than that? The book is filled with 144 pages of rich info and beautiful pictures, excellent value for the price! This is also the only book I've read that states a guinea pig's need for same-species companionship in a non-negotiable tone. The chapter on how to provide actitives such as an obstacle course to keep the guinea pig stimulated and to encourage it to exercise more is especially helpful. You don't really need another book on guinea pig care if you have this one!
