If you want more information of a rather technical sort about
guinea pig health, you can try _Diseases of Domestic Guinea Pigs_
by V.C.G. Richardson.
Also, check out Carlo "G.P." Ferrari's guinea pig site. In
addition to containing some documents with information about
guinea pigs, it has an archive of all the guinea pig related
posts on rec.pets. If you have access to the WWW, you can point
your URL to
> gopher://131.175.57.1:70/11/varie/bpets/Cavie
or, if your site has a gopher client, just type
> gopher 131.175.57.1
at the prompt, and then follow the links to pets.
There's also another WWW site with guinea pig information, as
well as all sorts of other veterinary documents, at
> http://netvet.wustl.edu/rodents.htm
or, for the gopher server
> gopher://vetinfo.wustl.edu:70/11n:/vet
again, if you have gopher and not WWW, you can type
> gopher vetinfo.wustl.edu
Finally, the Swedish GP Club's home page resides at
> http://www.stud.mdh.se/~ltd92fsk/clubs/smf.html
If you are on the WWW, you can get to all of these through links
from the WWW version of this guinea pig FAQ:
> http://www.princeton.edu/~ecrocke/html/gpfaq.html
by clicking on "Index for links to other gp related sites" at the
end of the document.
There's also a great gp mailing list that Carlo maintains. Once
a day a digest is sent out of all the submissions that have been
received that day, so it won't clutter up your mailbox. To
subscribe, send mail to listproc@ing.unico.it with no subject,
and the message body "subscribe gpigs <your name>"; e.g.
"subscribe gpigs Emily".
And last but not least, a woman named Lee Mahavier who runs a
shelter for abandoned guinea pigs puts out a quarterly
newsletter which costs $8 a year (the money goes to the shelter).
The address is:
Home for Unwanted and Abandoned Guinea Pigs
699 Creekview Dr.
Lawrenceville, GA 30244 (USA)
(404) 963-4755
I haven't had a chance to check out the newsletter personally,
but it came highly recommended by several people.
If there's any other information you think should be added to the
FAQ, or other sites with guinea pig info I should mention, please
write me (ecrocke@princeton.edu) and let me know.
