cowgirl411 - you'll be fine. If they're hurting your feelings, ignore them.
if they have a rescue piggie, definitely get that. However, pet store pigs aren't going to be that horrible. Pepsi and Buddy came from a Meijer (or target) :]
You don't need to be a guinea pig expert to get a guinea pig. Haha I saw a guinea pig, decided I want one, read like 5 books on them and a week later we got some at the store (yes we checked rescues first). 4 years later, they're still happy and well.
In all the books I read, it said that you could have only one guinea pig if you were able to spend a lot of time with it. My friend currently only has one pig, but he goes everywhere with her.
Emergency funds are always nice, you never know whats gonna happen. We had to neuter Pepsi!
And the one tip of advice I tell all new pig owners: never let your guinea pigs eat the stringy celery stalk. They can choke on it and die. My best friend lost her pig because of this.
Good luck with your new guinea pigs!
