I have just started out in the world of breeding guinea pigs and I am trying 
to find people to supply my baby guinea pigs to. I have tried the local pet 
shops but they already seem to have their own breeders. So if any one has 
any suggestions they would be most appreiciated.
Yes. My biggest and most helpful suggestion is.. PLEASE DON'T BREED. 

There are many reasons. I don't understand the thought process of breeding to 
supply pet stores, or to supply anyone else for that matter. 

Lisa, please read these before you continue on.. hopefully they will make you 
rethink breeding your piggies. They are all written with a lot of thought and 
information.
