Crater Caviary:
Welcome to Crater Caviary! We focus on purebred Abyssinian cavies, but we are thinking about occasionally breeding different breeds of cavies to sell as pets or as showmanship cavies. We rarely have cavies for sale, since they are pregnant for 3 months and they have to be around 6 weeks old to be sold. Check back occasionally and if we don't have any that are for sale, we can always put you on a waiting list to reserve a cavy that you would like!
Brown's Monkey
Broken (White, Red & Black) Silkie Sow
She is a very sassy little girl. When we first got her, she tried to climb up the sides of the cage like a little monkey, hence her name. She is a good size, but we just have to work on showing her, because she squeals constantly when held on her back. She loves eating, her favorite is oranges, but she will eat apple slices once in a while.

Brown's Reagan
Cream/Black (Dilute) Agouti Teddy Boar
We decided on the name Reagan because of Ragan from Big Brother last season (Yes, I'm bordering on obsessive ) He is a very quiet boy, and he loves being held and nestling in your hair. He is good when you hold him on his back and he rarely ever squeaks. He will ONLY eat his pellets and apple slices..He refuses to eat any other kind of fruit. *Housed alone*

Brown's Lola *Black Abyssinian Sow*
Black Abyssinian Sow
Her old 'cage-mate' Brown's Shasta bit her ears because they were fighting over their fruit. We gave Shasta back to her old owner, and got Brown's Pippa for a roomate for Lola. She was very flighty and we didn't think she would be good for showing, but we worked with her and she turned out to be the best showmanship rabbit out of our whole herd!

Black Abyssinian Boar
He is from Pippa's first litter! Whenever he sees someone near his cage, he tries to climb the bars so that he can get some love! He has to be in a cage alone, because he is aggressive towards other boars.
