Apologies

Dear people, I'm terrified that you will all snort in disgust at me, but after reading about Craig's request for the loan of a circular saw (apologies that I am unable to help Craig!) it made me pluck up the courage to ask you knowledgeable and helpful lot, if anyone knows where I could get hold of a Peruvian (or Long-haired) Guinea pig. Please forgive me for what may seem a ridiculous request but I have been trying for some time to locate one and they are relatively uncommon and as a last resort I thought it would be worth a shot to try the imput of you guys on Ware Online! (Please, please no funnies, I have a very lonely female Peruvian at home at the moment that lost her sister in September, and I am rather anxious to obtain another female to reintroduce with her) Gosh, I sound crazy don't I? I can assure you all I am not!! Any ideas?

Clearly burdened with some deep seated guilt about not having assisted Craig, I did a quick search on Google for peruvian guinea Pig breeders for you. There was lots of bumpf, but these sites might have what you are looking for. If not, delve a bit deeper on google and i am sure that you will find some more information or someone who can help. http://www.petplanet.co.uk/petplanet/breeds/Guinea_Pig_-_Long_Haired.htm http://www.petplanet.co.uk/petplanet/breeds/Guinea_Pig_-_Long_Haired.htm

John, thanks. You are a superstar. I had a 15 second look this morning, the sites look great. I just hope with all my heart that I don't have to import one of these little guys from America! I'll take a good look when I have time.

Hi Capri Sue Jones of the "Quilt Project" fame has a gaggle of Guinea pigs down her garden she may be able to help although I do not know what model and type she keeps.. Her number is on the link below.

Van Hages in Stevenage (Bragbury End) have a lot of guinea pigs in their pets corner which have come from some local rescue centre - I don't know the details I'm afraid but Van Hages should be able to tell you. They have babies (piglets?) as well as fully grown ones. Good luck
