Has anyone seen the Burgess Excel Guide to Rabbits of the Guinea pig one?
They are small leaflets. My vet had them and while waiting ot be seen I had a read.
Some bits were good, rabbits and guine pigs hsould not be housed together, rabbits should be neutered to help them get on ect.
But there were 2 points in the guinea pig guide that I think is awful:
Housing - the hutch should be at least five times your guinea pigs length and at least a foot wide. you'll need to get a bigger hutch if you have more than one guinea pig. As a general rule: the more space the better.
Neutering - vets recommend that all guinea pigs should be neutered. It not only prevents unwanted pregnancies, it will also make your pets calmer and less aggressive.

Many hutches sold for piggies certainly aren't 5 times a piggy length
