Cavies

The Show has held a Cavy section since 2012 and it has gone from strength to strength.

Cavies, also known as guinea pigs, have a great following in Cornwall as well as all around the country, with us having a few Cavy Clubs right here in Cornwall.

The Show has great support from exhibitors with us receiving a good number of exhibits every year, allowing us to have a large array of different breeds on show for everyone to enjoy.

We have something for everyone, from the experienced exhibitors to adult and children’s pet classes, including classes for the novice exhibitors.

So even if you just have a pair of pet guinea pigs in your garden and would be interested in getting involved in showing them you will be made very welcome.

Cavies are judged in age categories:

3-5 months old - Cavies under 3 months are not permitted to enter the Show

5-8 months old

Adult - over 8 months

Children can enter the Child’s Pet section from the child’s 5th birthday and the Juvenile Purebred section from their 7th birthday.

If you have a question that isn’t answered in either the schedule or online entry information (where appropriate) please email the section secretary, Chris Bird, cavies@stithians.show or call on 07578 928555.
