59 swiss francs for a guinea pig!

[karen.488walker]

Thought about getting my 7 yr old one for his birthday but at £40 he can forget it! How much do they cost in England? Have I lost touch or what?? Might start breeding them. (The male was 10 francs cheaper but that figures).

I suspect they'd be much cheaper, if not free, over here.

Mine cost £18 I think from pets at home.

If you sun wants one and they cost 40 quid then why not, it's still a living thing, maybe small and that but you know.


My rabbit cost £1 from an auction.

 

[Globalti]

Wow! You weren't caught hopping were you?

 

[willhub]

I don't get that, it completely flew over my head

Look at this for £1 though, bargain or what??

He even enjoys abit of headbanging to coronation street!!

The gunie pigs i had were pretty cheap.
The rabbit wasnt too expensive either. He was crazy, used to run around all over. Then went to live at my aunties with hus 2 **** buddies, where he was happy. Never was a dad though.
He past away on saturday.

Get your son a hamster and tell him that it just like a gunie pig, except abit smaller and doesnt making a stupid squeeking noise.
Remember to get him one thats a common colour so when it dies you can replace it quickly and he will never know

The males are cheaper cos they fight. Female guinea pigs are preferable and ideally you should get two as company (for you probably!). Don't forget it's not just the cavy but also the hutch, run, straw, saw dust, food, vegetables, fruit, clippers, vets, etc. And it will be you who has to deal with the cleaning of the hutch twice weekly, death throes when they get old (5-7 years) and the expensive guinea pig valhalla burial. <sob>

My wife says it's only a guinea pig! Some people have no heart I tell you.........

 

[ChrisKH]

Thought that would have put the prices up. I know some people who will pay good money to attend an underground Guinea Pig fight to the death. Hardcore Mafiosi they are.

No, not each other Crock, but with you personally. They will wrest the television controls from you and take over everything. Evil little buggers they are. And don't wear shorts when they're around either.

 

[longers]

Do they still go "meep" while trying to rip your leg off?

 

[Aperitif]

£1.05 should get you one today.

Look, the correct spelling of guinea was in the bloody OP! You didn't even have to look it up! Just once, why not get it right?!

Hamsters are not a good pets for small children, they have a nasty bite and are boringly asleep during the day. I gather from a colleague that vets fear them as much as the average rottie, if not more.

I can't remember how much our Guinea Pigs cost. £5-10 I think, but that was 20 years ago....

Guinea Pigs are tastier with chips also.

This is what they do with them in Chile :-

Arch, your a hypocrit.
