The Pig Issue

The Pig Issue has been with us since 2005 as the blog reporting on and updating goings on but has, in the past,  always independent from Guinea Pig Welfare. The previous Pig Issue can be read here: The Pig Issue.

The different features of The Pig Issue cater for different audiences; “Absolute Beginners” for those completely new to guinea pig keeping; “Second Time Around” for those keeping guinea pigs again after a long break (this will include the updates and changes seen over the the years)”; and That was the pig that was” is the true story of a guinea pig reflecting issues they encountered during their life.

To be published at intervals, first publication before 12 December.
