Hi everyone it's nice to me you! I am Kayla, 20 from Allentown,Pa. I would love to tell you a bit about my guinea pigs since they are my children to me! My first cavy I got was a male and I named him Valentine since that is the day me and my boyfriends started talking. I wanted the best for my cavy so I bought him a buddy named Willy Jack who has tan, silver and white patches with red eyes. Cavies are like chips, and I couldn't just have one. I went to petco to purchase a huge cage so I had more room for my beloved boys. Then I saw this uniqu guinea pig, no one could figure out his exact breed. I saw him limping and asked the worker why he was limping? She said once I trimmed his nails he would be fine. I took him to the vet anyway to have her show me how to clip all their nails properly. When giving him an exam she said his nails were fine but his right thigh into his back hurt when she tugged on it. I forget to mention when I purchased the cavy I named him Dr. Gregory House (after the tv show). Anyway she did an x-ray on him and found out someone at the store, dropped him and his tail bone grew back the wrong way, pointing upwards! I felt so bad for my baby so he is given pain medication when needed, which isn't often so he loves to popcorn jump and play with his buddies. Well I was extremely mad and I stormed into Petco saying they need to screen their animals and workers better. I got them to pay his $200 vet bill! I got some justice for my little man! I won't ever get another pet from there. She said if I wouldn't have taken him they would have "discarded" of him. That made me so sick I stormed out of there. So Dr. house has a happy home here! Then recently I bought another cavy, who is brown so he got the name Chip, like a chocolate chip! The neat thing about house is he slightly limps on his right leg and so do I from severe Fibromyalgia possible MS. Cavies make such great pets especially for someone like me who can't move to much. They are spoiled! I give them organic vegetables daily high in vitamin c, plus good guinea pig food. Also they always have fresh timothy hay and I put vitamin c drops in their water, which buy the way I only give them purified water. I consider myself such a good guinea mommy! I hope to make some friends here who love cavies just as much as me. Even though this was a bit lengthy thank you for reading. If you like feel free to contact me!
Your Friends,
Kayla and the Cavies!
