  • there was a big discution on one of my threads on survivalist boards about eating guinea pigs, but not many people agree that its a good Idea, good luck

  • @teenprepper96 Did they give reasons why not????

  • @JRSKICK1 They can get scurvy, thay dont handle changing/hot temps well, it usually takes several generations to get good offspring, meaning to not die

  • @teenprepper96 Great this is the stuff i need to know... thanks.

  • It sounds like the guinea pigs are going to love the maze. I would recommend to put the guinea pigs in another hutch.

  • @giantsfans101 My wife won't let me build no more so i have to add on :-} hehe

see all

  • How's the hotel for the Guinea Pigs coming along?

  • I saw that you can eat them too, cool, I was thinking of doing that too. I'll be having rabbit pretty soon.

  • Sounds cool!

  • Thumbs up

  • I was looking into these as well. People in south armerica raise and eat these as a normal food. They are almost a miniature cow in that they both are grazers that love to eat grass. Love the idea, and please show us more.

  • Two Thumbs Up!

    

  • My daughter raises rats for her pythons. We get some that grow too fast to be consumed by snakes. Maybe I should slaughter one for dinner? They get nearly as big as guinea pigs.

  • Plus in a shtf situation u can get the same results with only grass and water , and when they begin there sexual maturity it only decreases a few months after ther life span which is 6-8 years.The only down side is there long gestation period and there average food conversion which is 2.6-1 of meat to the age of 10 weeks, and that doesn't really matter because of there unexpensive diet.

    I seriously recommend u to start breeding them great vid and idea!

  • by grouping 10 pigs , u should have 1 male for every 4-5 males preferably 4.

    The best thing is that they grow extremly fast with only fresh grasses , weeds , and kitchen scraps , actually grain based feeds can seriously harm them and even small portions , except for special guinea pig feeds , i lost my first litter because of grain based feed that contained corn.

    Soo u can feed them only common grass and weed and get even better weight results.

  • It is actually a great idea , i used to breed them actually and it is pretty cool.

    They very prolific , sows are sexually mature at 6 weeks but should be bred at 3 months of age and boar should be bred at 4-5months , there gestation period is throw 68-70days a little long but worth it , there litters are from 1-7 pups , 2 pup litters are common but it varies alot , mostly on a higher number.

    They can be kept in "colonies" of almost 30 with no problem , but best breeding results come by....
