Guinea-pigs have been raised for food for a very long time, and they're not particularly expensive. I'm surprised there's enough of a market to make it worthwhile, if that's what you mean.

Yes, I mean it must be a specialty product and not a common food for any ethnicity I know. Satanist cults? Hippie snake owners?
I never said that

Right, right.
Ah, raising them as snake food. That would make absolute sense. Seriously. That must be a genuine niche market.

My friend's son had a snake. But I think he fed it specially raised mice. Maybe if it were a bigger snake, though.

I would prefer free range rats rather than farm raised.Rats grown for food must be expensive. What's the target market?

Yeah, they're so bland.
You want a rat that tastes like RAT.

I'm told that German Shepherds are the preferred dog breed for consumption in China. Apparently more flavorful.

I had a dog that used to smell exactly like Reblochon. I never thought about the marketing potential.

Yes, but it still smelled like washed cheese.
