The ease of keeping guinea pigs is one of the reasons for their popularity as pets. Thanks to their peaceful nature, they get along calmly with all family members and become trusting and affectionate. They quickly tame and get used to the person who cares for them, and greet him with a joyful whistle. Amateur breeders have bred more than 80 breeds and varieties, differing in coat length, texture and color. The book tells about the history of domestication, feeding, maintenance, care and breeding these funny little animals. Designed for pet lovers.
