Re: I got a new guinea pig!

And please let's not forget that pet shops intentionally don't seperate the pigs there is no mistake there. By not seperating them and allowing to breed, chances are that babies, sellable byproducts to them, will be born before the mother is purchased which pumps more profit into their pockets. I monitored a few shops around here, nothing super intensive but they usually always had a litter of babies in the store, babies that they didn't have to buy. When questioned it is always a sexing error, give me a break. And while it is sad for those pigs that happen to be the "sacrificed ones", I can see how people become upset at the idea, but rather there be a few sacrificed than thousands pumped through the same channels.
