Guinea pigs - are very social animals. Switzerland has recognized this and has taken steps to ensure that all guinea pigs have the opportunity to be happy: there is a law was passed prohibiting only have one guinea pig.

It still presents a problem. Pretty unlikely that two guinea pigs die at the same time, so as soon as one dies, the owner will have to buy another one, or to break the law.

Typically, new guinea pig is under a second, and thus starts an endless loop cycling guinea pigs. Some of these people even originally wanted only one animal!

Küng is President of «IG Meerschweinchen», an umbrella organization of three Swiss association for the breeding of guinea pigs. She has a whole life were guinea pigs, and she knows how to treat and care for them.

"It is important that no one rented the guinea pig did not take forever - says Küng. - If you have one pig, then it will either remain with me till the end of life, or always moves somewhere else ».
