Keeping Cavies Healthy ( i.e. Guinea Pigs ) - PETS. My background is with raising these fellows for the past 18 years or so, and also quiet a bit of insight added by our Vet, who has raised them for much longer.
Normally she had between 15 and 20 of them at any given time. Both our vet and my wife and I rescue these guys from the local Humane Society where they get turned in regularly. A few generalized things to note: Filtered Pet Watering Bowl. House Rabbit Palace. In Israel, and probably most of the world, most house rabbits are given to children, who keep them in tiny cages (cheap) and forget about them after a month.
The tragedy of the house rabbit is its low price. The costs of having a healthy and happy rabbit are enormous compared to the price you pay for the animal at the pet shop. For comparison, ferrets are treated much better simply because they cost 150-300$ and not 10-20$. The other extreme of caring for a house rabbit is letting it run loose in the house, eat fresh vegetables with scientifically balanced dry mix and giving it unlimited attention. Not so easy!
