Being a Newcomer to the Cavy Fancy

The cavy fancy really can be a puzzling phenomenon. The goal of the group as a whole, as it seems to me, is to share our enjoyment of and love for cavies. To improve each breed individually and the overall quality of the species. If no-one was fanatical and no-one cared enough to own pedigrees and breed purebred lines imagine what a miss-matched, muddle guinea pigs would be! The same could be said for any species really, dogs, budgerigars, horses. If everyone just cross-bred and pet owned we would undoubtedly of lost the purity of many great lines. So there really is something to be said for the animal elitists.

Marduk and Hasana

 We have named our little darlings Hasana and Marduk. 

“Marduk” was born on the 13-05-2013 under the sign of the Taurus. The sign for Taurus is the bull and the name Marduk literally translates to ‘bull calf of the sun.’ In Sumerian mythology Marduk was a deity of fertility and storms. He was patron deity of the city of Babylon and referred to as Bel-Marduk (Bel meaning ‘Lord’)
