I have read all Peter Gurney's books and the Guinea Piglopedia. Also the RSPCA's piggy book and a few others.

I've read them all and own some of them ;D I am a fan of Peter Gurney and think that his Collins book is a definate must for any cavy owner. Its really useful with some good humour along the way :D

Peter Guerney's book is great and a brilliant basic reference guide. O0 Ideal for the beginner (like me!). All Collin's books in general seem to be good tho. Its so sad that Peter died recently. :(

I bought The Sex Life of Guinea Pigs by Peter Gurney last year...it's a brilliant book full of loads of info on mating, pregnancy, birth and motherhood. It's the only book you'll ever need if you find yourself with a pregnant piggy O0

[Billies Mum]

The best book I have is an animal planet one - I bought it in the USA

Peter G is a legend - Piggy Potions is one of my faves
