Thank you :) If you want to know what I have currently available, the best way to find out is to directly email me at Storybookcavies@aol.com It may take me a few days to reply, depending on the amount of school work I am currently buried under, but I try to respond ASAP.

I currently have two guinea pig sows (Cuddles and Chestnut) but do not plan to show them. When i saw this web site i thought that i might want to show cavies that i get in the future. luv this site, i have my own (amoncenter.com) also about guinea pigs.

Very cool! Thanks for dropping a line. Showing is a lot of fun, but it can become addicting ;)

Great Cavy information! Thank you. Yours are lovely. I don want to point out though, on your info about the Teddies, you stated that some people call them Teddy bears but that that is a type of hamster.. It is not. As a breeding of SYRIAN hamsters, people ask about it all the time. It, like with cavies, is an annoying pet shop nickname that should be avoided. Thanks you. Rebekah Winterbell Hamstery

That is very interesting - thank you for letting me know! Those pet stores...

Do you have to belong in a 4H club to show your pig, or can you come alone? I am seriously considering showng this year, but my mom does not really want me joining 4H again this year. Two years ago I did not get to show because the show was on my birthday. Then this year I did not get to show because my pig died a month before Youth Expo. Rest in peace, Snuggles. Guinea Pigs Rule!!!!!

Hello!

Well, that depends on what kind of showing you are interested in. If you are interested in showmanship, there are definitely more opportunities through 4-H. If you are interested in breed shows, or ARBA/ACBA sanctioned shows, you can show independently with no problem. There have been quite a few shows lately at the San Bernardino fairgrounds, not sure how much of a drive that is for you. You don't need to be a part of any group to show there, just a piggy to show. And I think you may have one now ;) If you want more info, just email me at Storybookcavies@aol.com and I'll forward show info your way when I get it.

Hope your new piggies are doing well!

Thanks for the wonderful pigs! Nutmeg and Ginger are doing great. They really love their spinach. Especially Gingi. All of my friends are so jealous of them!

Glad they have settled in :)

Hello again! I have a question... what will a sows bottom half look like when she is in heat? We are trying to record the girls cycles.

Well, it's a bit hard to tell with guinea pigs because they are so small. Often times sows in heat will mount one another or make purring noises like boars.

Could you please tell me what type is?

"Type" is a term that refers to the overall build/structure of a cavy. A cavy with good type will be blocky and stocky, and the same width from head to rump. A cavy with weak shoulders, crown, or poor body build has poor type.

What makes a nose roman?

Genetics. ;) As for distinguishing it from other kinds of noses, a roman nose is neither a half-circle nor is it completely flat. It's slightly rounded.
