Mana Cavy Club is a friendly and caring club with a range of members from different backgrounds and ages. We are all brought together through one thing, our love for Cavies (Guinea Pigs).
Here at the Mana Cavy Club, we welcome everybody with open arms and invite you to come along to our show days. These show days are great for learning more about cavies, as well as a chance to ask experienced breeders and owners about cavies, as well as engage with the judge who are extremely knowledgeable and are eager to help. By coming along to a show, it will open your eyes to a world you may have never considering yourself interested in, as well as meeting some amazing people.
At a show, there are two categories: pets and pedigrees. A pet is any Guinea pig, you do not have to know their age or breeding. Therefore, if you currently have guinea pigs, feel free to bring them along! The only requirements is that they are to be clean and in healthy condition. Our more experienced members are able to help clip nails if needed and offer advice for presentation! This category is great for beginners and allows you to bring your current pets along to see what it is about, meet other like minded owners and have a fun day out! The pet category is split into age groups, which means even if you are an adult, you are still able to join in on the fun!
The other category is Pedigrees, this is a guinea pig who meets the breed standard which is set by the New Zealand Cavy Council. This means that the guinea pigs are bred ethically and to a high standard. This category is great fun and for those who are looking for a bit more competition. If you are interested in learning more about pedigrees, or getting into it, come and visit us at a show! we will happily teach you everything you need to know and help with finding you the perfect cavy!
