Thanks for the info about the sows and boars. I was leaning toward sows myself. And as for my parents and the vet, that's one thing about my parents that I consider myself blessed; they are willing to spend money on vet bills, as they love animals as much as I do and hate to see them suffer. Also, I have a part-time job so I could pay the vet bills myself if it comes to that.
Out of curiousity though, how often does the average guinea pig need to visit the vet outside of check-ups? Guinea pigs aren't prone to disease or something are they?
