Requesting a change to A401842

Would it be possible to make a change to the entry on Keeping Guinea Pigs as Pets? This is A401842. At present it says in the breeding section -

"Your local pet shop wil be delighted to take any babies from you."

I have been told that this is irresponsible and encourages people to breed guinea pigs, ending up with unwanted baby pets. Can you please change it to the following, which I think should please everybody -

"Before getting into the business of breeding guinea pigs, think about what you are going to do with the babies. Your local pet shop may be willing to take them off your hands, but in some countries regulations make this difficult, so you may find you have to search for homes for them yourself. If in doubt, it is better not to breed, as there are enough unwanted pets in the world."

If you can put that in the entry, I will be much obliged!
