Gregory Reaves

Gregory Reaves raises American Guinea pigs in Reform, Alabama, situated in Pickens County and west Alabama near Tuscaloosa. He has been breeding these cavies for over five years following recommendations from the American Cavy Breeders Association and completes regular health screenings for vitamin C deficiency and respiratory issues.

He consults with a local veterinarian to monitor growth and maintain vaccination schedules. A separate nursery area ensures sows and young pups enjoy quiet, warm quarters. His pigs live in spacious, well-ventilated hutches and receive daily handling to build gentle temperaments.

The Reaveses provide a diet that includes quality pelleted feed, fresh greens, and seasonal herbs, along with tunnels and natural hides for enrichment. Local buyers note the calm nature and sturdy build of his pigs, some of which have placed at county fairs. He follows seasonal sanitation schedules and offers detailed care instructions to assure a smooth transition to new homes.
