Editorial review:
Barron’s IPet Handbooks/I are written, designed, and illustrated in much the same attractive style as Barron’s best selling IComplete Pet Owner’s Manuals/I. However, IHandbooks/I have a larger page-count and with it, more extensive and detailed coverage of each title’s subject pet. This brand new handbook for guinea pig owners provides a wealth of information on the animal’s anatomy and life cycle, plus advice on caging, feeding, breeding, and health care.

5 stars. A book every human owned by a guinea pig should read.
Very nice text and pictures. As a handbook should, it has information you need to read. Great reference book to have.

5 stars. Solid info, great reference
"The Guinea Pig Handbook" is a great book not only to learn about piggies, but can also be used as a reference so it won't collect dust. As another amazon member stated, you should not use balls for guinea pigs because their spines are not that flexible, and a guinea pig should have at least 7.5 square feet in a cage, but besides this, the information is correct and very detailed. Plus, there's quite a few cute pictures of cavies! This is great for an adult.

5 stars. Good Book
We thought this was a good book. tells a history of the guiea pig as well as well as the vital information that you need to care for you guinea pig. My five year old asks me to read it to her. She wants to learn as much as she can about guinea pigs before she gets one.

5 stars. Excellent and Reliable Source of Information
I am very impressed with "The Guinea Pig Handbook". It is actually very well written, and the information is reliable and presented clearly. Unlike a regular text book, or the other manuals that I got from the library, this book gives a historical background on guinea pigs, as well as a reliable source of information for any of the questions or problems I ran into while caring for Bert (my guinea pig). According to my neighbor, who is a veterinarian (and the person that recommended the book to me), there is nothing at all to worry about with reliability of the information in the book. He told me that all of Dr. Vanderlip's books are a great source of information for the beginner and the expert because the information is always clear and reliable.

5 stars. Best Guinea Pig book available with accurate information!
The Guinea Pig Handbook is an excellent resource for everyone who owns a cavy. I have purchased many Guinea Pig books, but this one stands out among all of them and is the one that I constantly refer to. The photographs are beautiful and the information is thorough and detailed. I highly recommend this book to all Guinea Pig owners, whether they have years of experience or they have just purchased their new pet.
