I am so angry and disgusted. Three guinea pig magazines sold in pet co state sows should be bred before five months to avoid cysts and likely problems!! How can they be allowed to publish this? Somebody was going to bred her sow. I hope I stopped her in time.
 
I know nothing about the b word as it doesnt interest me and this is a pro rescue forum but it does seem shocking to me as five month olds are still so small. It cant be good for them!
 
it annoyed me yesterday. I was saying to a new work colleague that i have five piggies. He was like - oh you should breed them! And you'll have loads!
i was like i don't want to breed them! It could kill them. He was like how?
me: pregnancy is a stressful thing for everyone and everything. Wouldn't want to even consider putting a small animal through that kind of trauma! Complication could happen to her the same as a human pregnancy.

I sympathise. Usually when people find out I have guinea pigs, they ask "Are you going to breed them" or even "You should breed them". I then have to try and explain why it's not a good idea, but it makes me sad that people are always asking this.

it makes me mad! Always ask that when people have multiple guineas or rabbits!
 
I know the feeling a few vets asked if I bred sophie when she was a little younger at the time I had 6 guineas but I was very offended and told them I dont agree with breeding but I have a feeling that made me look guiltier. ....

oh well what can you do?
