| Re: Why?
Actually thats a very good point. When I started out with guinea pigs I didnt even know that there was such a thing as guinea pig rescues. This I imagine, would be the same for many.
Also in Australia we dont have so many guinea pig rescues, and the knowledge on "proper" care for pigs is very limited. Most of the guinea pigs here tend to be kept outside, and fed the odd bok choy, not taken to the vet and fed chaff. But that is going off topic. What I was getting at was that those that live in Australia are even less likely to know about rescues as there are so few of them, this combined with the fact that many have pigs as children, then grow up and get pigs for their children. They treat their pigs as they did when they were children, and dont often realise that alot has changed since then. |
