No Voodoo Joint. I do not breed my
GP's I think it is very irresponsible to do so when there are so many rescues out there. I have had my boys for 7 years and they have never been to the vet. Not because we haven't noticed they were ill, as I am always worrying about them, but because they haven't been ill. Just after my boys turned 7 we adopted to 18 month old girls. The girls which we have had for a week are over 5 weeks pregnant. As they are too old for their first litter we are very worried about them.
About the age, so Voodoo joint is it common for guinea pigs to live to 14 years old indoors? If so, it would be very interesting.
I am not 'rationalizing' it Voodoo Joint. Maybe in America where the temperature fluxuates greatly there may be some problems but where I live it is either warm/hottish in the spring/summer in which my
GP's live outside at peak temperatures or inside when it's cooler. Or in the winter when it is cold they live in an insulated shed.
I find it rather odd that putting my views forward is 'rationalizing' whereas you doing so isn't.
My
GP's are really happy and healthy. I would appreciate it if you respected that my
GP's live outside, as it is very common for them to do so where I live.
