I live in an agricultural area, and 4-H is heee-UGE here. I've asked several kids involved if they'd ever known of anyone who bred guinea pigs for the program, and they all look at me like I'm crazy, and laugh.

In fact, I don't know of *anyone* who (intentionally) breeds guinea pigs around here, and I've asked around to anyone who might know...school teachers, feed suppliers, etc. I asked at the pet stores, and they sd. that they get their pigs from a lady who travels from about 100 miles away.

This is why it took me so long to find a pig to rescue. It's not that I think the area we live in is so "evolved"...it's just that owning guinea pigs is not real big around here.
