Hi,

does anyone know if the cuy genetics of guinea pigs are available in the UK, more specifically in Wales?

So far, I see that there are the small ones, as presented in the thread below.

The bigger ones, the meat breeds growing to slaughter weight of 1 kg within 2 months, are they available?

Cuy are an amazing livestock, and taste delicious although I now eat kosher.

Yes, they are really delicious!

Anne: Parc Carreg is the same as presented above in the link, they sadly only have the pet genetics.
