Seen a pet shop near the Ramada, they had all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures, maybe they can help, not sure of the name of the road but you need to turn right by Hardees then follow the road until you see the Turkish restaurant on your right, the pet shop is opposite on the left.
I cried though as they had abeautiful dog in a very small cage and it had been there a while :( wanted to take it home but wasn't allowed.
Won't go again, too upsetting for me xx

mghozlam, he means a pet, not pig as pork! LOL!

mintus, i bet u can find them in pet stores.
if u want some numbers, try to look online in qatar yellow pages and then just ask on the phone if they have any and which type.

good luck!

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.

There are pet shops here, but I avoid them, so I don't know if any have Guinea pigs. Maybe just place a "wanted" ad, or the best way to get info in Doha.. word of mouth. Just keep asking around. Good luck!

Afaque's picture

Afaque said name? I found this! ...

The scientific name of the common species is Cavia porcellus, with porcellus being Latin for "little pig". Cavia is New Latin; it is derived from cabiai, the animal's name in the language of the Galibi tribes once native to French Guiana.[17] Cabiai may be an adaptation of the Portuguese çavia (now savia), which is itself derived from the Tupi word saujá, meaning rat.[18] Guinea pigs are called quwi or jaca in Quechua and cuy or cuyo (pl. cuyes, cuyos) in the Spanish of Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia.[19] Paradoxically, breeders tend to use the more formal "cavy" to describe the animal, while in scientific and laboratory contexts it is far more commonly referred to by the more colloquial "guinea pig".[20]
How the animals came to be thought of as "pigs" is not clear. They are built somewhat like pigs, with large heads relative to their bodies, stout necks, and rounded rumps with no tail of any consequence; some of the sounds they emit are very similar to those made by pigs, and they also spend a large amount of time eating.[21] They can survive for long periods in small quarters, like a 'pig pen', and were thus easily transported on ships to Europe.[22]
