Collection: Guinea Pig Magazine

Once upon a time, in a hamlet in Devon, there was a little guinea pig called Piglet. He was a very handsome piggy indeed and he was very much loved. His owner (or pig slave rather), was Alison Byford (our editor).

Piglet and a chance photo of him (shown here) changed everything. It featured in the last ever Somerfield’s (Supermarket) Magazine in the reader’s pet section. When Alison turned over the page and discovered his little face beaming back at her she was so excited and very proud of her little piggy. Buoyant, she looked for somewhere else to send her photo. How could anyone resist those piggy lips? One would think there would be a pet guinea pig magazine out there somewhere who would love this pigture!

But alas, no such magazine existed. In fact, she struggled to even find a dedicated small animal magazine. “This can’t be right” she thought, surely the world needs a magazine filled with cute, fluffy pets?!
