Carl Frederickson

Carl Frederickson breeds American guinea pigs in Corning, California, Tehama County and the Sacramento Valley near Redding. He has devoted several years to refining his small herd within the American guinea pig community and maintains membership in national registry programs with routine health and temperament screenings. His setup includes spacious indoor pens with supervised outdoor runs, ensuring each piglet receives daily handling and enrichment.

Frederickson values quiet socialization, introducing youngsters to calm household activity before they leave for new homes. Feed plans combine homegrown hay and certified grain mixes, and gentle rotations on soft pastures promote muscle tone and healthy coats. Each animal undergoes regular veterinary exams and preventive care.

Many local caretakers note the pigs’ even temperaments and tidy coats, attributing this to consistent care and early handling. His rooted interest in small-scale livestock keeps the farm’s traditions alive while meeting modern welfare standards.
