A new wacky adventure delivers laugh-out-loud fun as this gaggle of cashed-up guinea pigs (and one silly capybara) become involved in a new ridiculous crime caper.

The mega rich guinea pigs are in trouble! Hot Head, Lunk, G-Chip and Big Pig (who is actually a capybara, but don't tell him that) have received a threatening letter from a mysterious villain. To keep themselves and their fat stacks of cash safe, they are whisked away to a Witless Protection Program.

But something doesn't seem quite right... have they walked into a trap? They might need more than ButtPay to get out of this one.

Don't miss Witless Protection (Mega Rich Guinea Pigs, #2), the latest book in this hilarious illustrated series from the bestselling authors of FROG SQUAD and BIN CHICKEN!
