Re: 6 Guinea Pigs in Louisiana Shelter

I will keep you updated and first in line for adoption. I'm excited that Babette (my favorite of the bunch) may already have a home.

I am hoping to get to pull the girls from the shelter tomorrow. My first plan of action is to treat for mites and get the girls to the vet to confirm pregnancies.

While these GPs and the rabbits (and any other they get) are at the SPCA I plan to visit daily with hay and veggies. I brough half a bale to the SPCA today. The GPs were thrilled with the hay. Poor little Reese couldn't figure out whether to eat veggies or hay first so she went back and forth between them taking bites.

Hazel and Babette fought over who got to sit on the hay pile. They need a bigger cage, expecially if they are preggers. I'm afraid that in the small cage the SPCA has them in (all the room they can give them unfortunatly) they could get Toxemia. I also got a confirmation that if one of the moms dies during labor the SPCA does not have the manpower to hand raise the babies. With that in mind I am hopeful that they will take me up on my offer to care for them in foster.
