The Guinea Pig or Domestic Cavy Charles Cumberland Fzs

This special re-print edition of Cumberland's book "The Guinea Pig or Domestic Cavy" contains all the information a person needs to master the basics of raising Cavies or Guinea Pigs. Written in 1886, this book is one of the earliest ever written solely about the Cavy or Guinea Pig and is a storehouse of information on Cavies. Chapters include The Domestic Cavy, The Cavy Fancy, The Origin of the Domestic Cavy, The Cavy As Food, Breeding in Courts, Feeding Cavies, Breeding Cavies in Hutches, Diseases of the Cavy and much more. In our opinion, this is one of the best books on the subject of Cavies and will be a treasure to Cavy breeders everywhere. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
