Description

Class Experience

In this animal behavior class, we will look at live guinea pigs and videos of my guinea pigs producing a variety of sounds and behavior.

This class is taught in English.

I have owned and worked with guinea pigs for over 10 years, I went to school for veterinary science and petshop management, have worked in animal behavior, and I rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome guinea pigs. I have helped rehome at least 50 guinea pigs in the past 12 months, including pregnant guinea pigs, babies, and elderly guinea pigs. Education about these animals is always my main goal in hopes that knowing more about them means we will have more responsible owners that respect these beautiful rodents which I do online and in person at events where I take my guinea pigs into the public and have done girl scout programs as well. I currently have 11 fosters in my house and 5 of my own guinea pigs.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
