Thank you for that story, CavyLove. It's a good example of why we try to discourage children (or parents of children) from getting guinea pigs as pets (i.e.,toys).

When we brag on ours, and how much we love them, we also include the fact that they are a lot of hard work, expense, and responsibility. There is a lot more to the care and well-being of cavies than the pet stores and traditional methods inform us of.

I am crying so hard reading your story because we had also lost guinea pigs because of the lack of information on the proper care, feeding, and housing of cavies.

If it helps just one little piggy...Ralphie will not have died in vain. He will kiss you again, someday, as I pray ours will. As well as going before and teaching us what we need to know to save others.
