Thumbs up Guinea Pigs (ASPCA Pet Care Guides)

These 7 new petcare guides for children introduce all the basics they need to know to own and care for a pet.
Find out how to prepare your guinea pigs' hutch, and playing with your guinea pigs, indoors and outdoors. Learn what to feed your guinea pigs, and when, and how to keep your guinea pigs happy and healthy. Guinea Pigs is one of an exciting new series of pet care books designed to help young animal owners learn about and care for their pets. Illustrated on every page with full-color photography, Guinea Pigs is packed with practical information on every aspect of feline care. Published in association with the ASPCA, this series will engage and inform readers ages seven and up.
Customer Review: Not a Great Book
I have a guinea pig, and I love her and take care of her. But I recently checked out this book, and I thought some parts could be a little more realistic. The sections on food and guinea pig history and breeds were terrific. But I think it expects you to go a little overboard on your guinea pig. For example, when it gives you the list of cleaning supplies you need to clean your guinea pig's cage, it says, "Do not take any items that you use to clean your house," when it has things like sponges and dustpans and towels on the list. Do they mean that you're supposed to buy a new towel and dustpan just for your guinea pig? Also, the checklist at the very end was EXTREMELY unrealistic. Not very many people check their guinea pig's teeth every day. This book is OK, but I just think that some sections are unrealistic and set too high expectations for little kids.
