If you would like to have pictures of guinea pigs published, stories to tell or would like to remember a piggy of yours, Guinea Pig Magazine is a great place!
The cover piggies are readers' pigs and you can always read their story.

It is also a great place for information; the standard of it is comparable to our forum (in fact, a number of present or former forum members have become regular contributors). Apart from a regular "Ask the Experts" page, there is always a medical article, a rescue story, care and behaviour contributions, behind the scenes clinic or vet nurse tips, readers' product testing, competitions and quizzes...
The magazine is covering a wide range of topics and is a wonderful up-to-date resource - something that no printed book can provide at the moment as so much has changed over the last few years - or in such depth!

Guinea Pig Magazine is the only internationally available magazine (and an adward winning one at that!) that is dedicated to just guinea pigs. Like our forum, it is a rescue friendly, non-breeding pet owners publication, so we can fully endorse it.

The magazine is available in both a printed and a cheaper downloadable version without shipping cost and comes out every 2 months. Backdated issues can also be bought.
Where you can get your subscription: Guinea Pig Magazine

If you have any questions, Guinea Pig Magazine is on facebook, twitter and instagram, too!

Looks like a fantastic magazine. I have just subscribed and gone for the proper copy, not download. Can't wait till it arrives :D
 
I ordered the magazine a week ago, paid by bank transfer but when I check my account on the magazine website, it says my order status is on hold. Any reason why this might be? Payment has gone through and left my bank account.

You have to contact the magazine, as I don't handle this side. It think that some things are currently being overhauled/rearranged, but it is better to make sure. Contact Us – Guinea Pig Magazine

It can be that your subscription is on hold because it won't start with the current issue (out July) but with the next issue (out September).

I did select the current issue (#39) as my first one. I've sent an email so I'm sure I'll get it sorted :)

It's currently a bit hectic to find an alternative supplier as the next post will explain!
 
If you are a UK reader of Guinea Pig Magazine, please help us to chart the future and let the magazine know which supermarket chain you'd like us to target for a trial run for sales, Tesco or Asda.
Guinea Pig Magazine (facebook) or see the post on twitter.

But it takes time to set it all up, so if you want to get hold of the next issue coming out in September due to a reduced print run, you need to pre-order via this link here as it takes time to set up things with another outlet. We would like to hear from you soon because the size of the print run depends on the number of pre-orders the magazine gets.
If you wish to get issue 40 with a great forum members' input for my upcoming guinea pig naming article, please order it now via this link here: Guinea Pig Magazine

Unfortunately, pets@home management are not changing their mind, do not answer any emails or posts with complaints.
Management have also not bothered to listen to front line staff input or to even alert them to the top level management decision and have left them to fend as best as they can with disappointed customers. :(
 
We got a subscription after the pets at home kerfuffle, but if we switch back to buying in a shop, it would be Tesco.
 
We are also huge fans of GPM and it is always much fought over when it arrives here in Switzerland.
I am going to have to subscribe now, as in the past my wonderful MIL has always gone to PAH specially to buy it for us and then post it on - she loved being able to do this for her grand daughters.

And as for writing for them, I am certainly no where near close to being knowledgeable enough to write something factual, and my piggies aren't from rescue so don't have an interesting story to tell, but do you think they would be interested in a small humorous story from a guinea pig who has lots of thoughts on life (Eddi)?

GPM always features readers' stories in every issue. A humorous one will be most welcome!
We are a pet owners magazine, first and foremost. ;)

i love reading your amusing Eddi & Ruby stories on here, so i'm quite sure people would like to see them in the magazine :nod: especially if readers aren't lucky enough to realise this forum exists :(

i'm thinking of subscribing to GPM but i prefer to go & buy it from a shop to avoid postage if possible (& i like the triumphant feeling of coming away from the shop with my Piggy Paper Purchase in hand, ready to read at the earliest opportunity :)) ),
Asda would be my preference as i usually shop there(&it's a stones throw from pets at home where i used to buy it), but there is a Tesco's or Waitrose the same distance away from me, so wouldn't be a problem. Sainsbury's are the other direction but still do-able.

Not here yet but I haven't had any post at all in the last 3 days so maybe RM is waiting till there is a weeks worth before delivering.. :rant:
 
I would also vote Tesco due to them having one of their Express convenience stores near me. :)
 
I have now subscribed but would swap back to shop purchasing when possible.
Prefer Asda but Tesco's is fine too if going with the flow. X
 
I have just subscribed. Right this minute. I kept forgetting that PaH have stopped selling it (although mags are still on the shelves at the moment) but that doesn't mean that they will get any new issues.

So before I forget (again!) I have subscribed.

I would love to see the magazine in Tescos
