The Best of the Guinea Pig care manuals, 20 Jan 2002
By Valerie McKay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Grown-up's Guide to Guinea Pigs (Paperback)
I've owned a number of guinea pigs over the years, and had to rely on books from the local pet store obviously aimed at children. I bought this book for my husband and he read the whole thing through Christmas Day, much of it aloud - he was so excited to have so many things about our pet explained! Especially helpful is the information about nutrtion. We also recently purchased Diseases of Domestic Guinea pigs, but if you're going to have just one Guinea Pig care book this is the one to get.

Cute pictures and up-to-date advice, 2 Feb 2001
By R. Kelly Wagner "bunrab@bunrab.net" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Grown-up's Guide to Guinea Pigs (Paperback)
Dale Sigler loves guinea pigs. And he wants to let the world know that it's OK for grownups to have pets. You don't have to pretend it's for the kids- you're allowed to love cute, fuzzy little things without any excuses. The book contains wonderful pictures, useful tables of information. The Quick-start chapter is especially helpful. Learn why piggies love parsley, how baby guinea pigs are different from most babies, and why two guinea pigs are better than one.
My only quibble would be that the book could have used a little bit more editing; sometimes the sentence structure is a little *too* much like talking, which can be confusing in print, without voice inflections and pauses. One would like a book that will be a permanent part of one's library to have been edited for grammar and punctuation. But that's a small quibble to a delightful book.

What Adults/Parents Need to Know on Guinea Pig Care, 10 May 2001
By Judi L. "Guinea Pig and Rabbit Rescuer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Grown-up's Guide to Guinea Pigs (Paperback)
I recommend this book to all my adopters. Its really the best one around for learning everything you need to know to bring a guinea pig into your home and properly care for him/her/them. While many parents want their children to take care of them, the truth is that parents will always have the primary responsibility, so even if you know nothing about piggies, you will know it all by the time you are finished. Its fun reading, too.
