Re: Why NOT to get a Petstore Guinea Pig? *Pictures*

I have no pictures but I do have a story. There is only one pet store in my town, it is a small shop and not part of a large chain. The rodents are kept in cages that are no larger than 2 x 2. The last time I was there I went a looked at the guinea pigs, there was atleast 10 piggies in one tiny 2 x 2 cage. A tiny black pig had a large wound behind it's ear. These were just the young pigs, they had olders ones too. Near teh fish there is a small octagon shaped tank, this is where they put the rodents that haven't sold yet, and chances are won't be. This pet store doesn't put food or water even in the cages. We used to buy our bedding, hay and food there. Now we go to pet food supplier store, we pay more but it is worth it, and the staff are knowledgeable.
