Guinea Pigs

A Spoonful of Sugar Makes the Guinea Pig Go Down?

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) March 14, 2008 -- Whether the cuisine is cute and cuddly (guinea pigs in Ecuador) or old and moldy (fermented mare's milk in Nepal), travelers gulp them down with a spoon and a smile. Whether it's pulling the legs off your meal or cooking the poison out of them, Intrepid Travel provides an appetite for adventure that will feed all your travel cravings.

As we grew up, we learned that putting certain things in our mouths (like batteries) hurts, but others, kooky as they may be, are still worth the thrill. Particularly bugs. Something about that crunch ....

Intrepid Travel supports explorers with a palette for the crunchy, the creamy and the bizarre. When traveling with Intrepid the only fast food you'll eat is the kind running off your plate. Intrepid's adventure trips truly take you on a cultural journey where you will eat the local fare and experience the destination's way of life.

Intrepid believes that travel isn't just about walking off the beaten path; it's about eating off it too. Every traveler to Italy has stories about the pasta, but not all travelers can chat about silk worms, camel burgers and tarantulas.

"Spiders made their way onto the Cambodian palette during the Khmer Rouge regime," comments Intrepid Traveler Jeff Alexander, "Up to two million people were executed or died of starvation, and Cambodians turned to whatever sustenance they could find, including spiders, rats and lizards. The regime eventually came to an end, but spiders have remained a popular snack."

Intrepid now offers culinary adventures in Costa Rica, India and Vietnam. Sample the local fare while enjoying a true adventure experience along the way.

Looking for true cultural adventure travel? If you'd be willing to sample kangaroo fillet, BBQ crocodile or turtle then give Intrepid's real life experiences a try. Heck, nobody said you couldn't bring your tummy medicine -- just be sure to leave your ego, preconceptions and prudence back home. They're not on the menu.

With over 19 years of experience, Intrepid Travel is one of the world's leading small group adventure tour operators. Intrepid offers over 400 itineraries to more than 90 destinations worldwide. Trips are designed to go off the beaten track, joining locals on their transportation, in their markets and even in their homes.

Guinea Pig Toy
Guinea pigs are wonderful pets but there are certain things they need in order to live a happy life. Of course they would love to have a guinea pig toy or two in their cage, but you first have to ask yourself if the cage is big enough. It is very important that they have enough space to move as well as exercise, so if the cage is just big enough for them to do those things, rather wait until you can get them a bigger cage and then buy them a guinea pig toy. If you are 100% sure that your cage is big enough, your guinea pig would love to have a toy to play with!
