How many guinea pigs have you got?

[Simpo Two]

Met a couple today who have 22 guinea pigs who live in their house - in a special 'housing complex' in a room of their own.

Can anyone beat 22?

Probably, with a big stick and a few hours to kill.....

Sorry, its been a long day at work

[Simpo Two]

Very good!

a few days ago my numbers stood at 140 but i know there have been a few births since then, so probably around the 150 ish mark.

Oh thats nothing, when i was a lady of leisure i had around 280 of the little darlings,
you have to remember that these are pedigree purebred animals bred to compete at top exhibitions.

I see the plan... every guinea pig in the competition is yours so you win all the prizes!




You see guinea pig, I see 'satay'...

at our next show in september (reading area) we should be having 800+ guineas penned, exhibitors from all over europe will be attending.
this will be the largest guinea show in the world

Ha ha, I've never heard anything quite so bizarre! There was me thinking thewy were just things you stuck dots on and hang from the rear view mirror

What do they compete in? Straight line speed? Handling? Show jumping? Guinea Pig dressage?!

Where? When? I want to have a look.

Only 2 guineas here at the moment - Ayrton Senna and Rubens Barrichello. Unfortunately Nigel Mansell passed away from old age earlier this year.

each breed competes in its own set standard, some of the longhaired varieties have hair reaching over 20" long.
