Customer Reviews: Good, basic information June 21, 2007 Karen Bawoll's book is a great guide for new guinea pig owners, but lacks the detail of other books. It's a great place to start to learn about cavies. Note that a guinea pig's cage should be at least 7.5 square feet, however. Visit www.guineapigcages.com for more info. Good luck! Perfect for new Owners May 17, 2004 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I bought this book when I got my first two guinea pigs. This is a great guide and I highly reccomend it. It has many full-color photos and an easy to understand format. Important things you'd really want to know are in bold, and the index is quite large. And so far, I haven't found any errors. Plus, the guinea pigs featured in the book will make you squeal since they are so CUTE! :D I've also found that there is a section that informs you about genetics. It's very interesting... it can help you trace down exactly what the unknown parents of your little piggie probably looked like. This book is perfect for first time owners!!
