guinea pigs
BBC story about a guinea pig population explosion in England:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-17700761 If you thought neutering cats in time was a hassle: "Unneutered males are active from just three weeks and the mums can become pregnant again within an hour of giving birth." Sweet picture. I'd probably have taken up guinea pigs by now if cats hadn't intervened. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

Sweet picture. I'd probably have taken up guinea pigs by now if cats hadn't intervened. Once upon a time, I used to breed and show guinea pigs (or cavies as we call them) They are easy to sex and there is no excuse for having unwanted litters. You merely put the young boys and young girls in separate cages. Simple. |

They are easy to sex and there is no excuse for having unwanted litters. You merely put the young boys and young girls in separate cages. Simple. The implication of the BBC story was that they weren't at all easy. Anybody else remember this story? I first read it when I was about 12 and thought it was hilarious. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigs_Is_Pigs ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
