I contacted a local rescue, and they had aquired over 50 guinea pigs in a box on the side of a building, all females pregnant
. Im pretty sure alot of them are being adopted, all the babies are born, Im not too sure about all the pigs' status. Anywho, I was interested in 7 of the
cavies, 4 males, 3 females.
Case 1: If my mom would let me get all seven I probably would. But Im not convinced she will, I have yet to make the official proposal (family death). The males would be neutered of course. My only concern is how much time would I be able to give each pig one on one.
Case 2: I get the 4 males, 2 of which are already cage mates.
Case 3: The 3 females
Statements: I am new to
cavies. I have a job for the expenses. I have planned a C&C cage (4x5 bottom level, 2x5 top level). I have googled/library for hours and exchange emails with the rescue. I have read many threads on this site. I know many of you will call me crazy for this many piggies with little experience, but it would suck if I didn't have a home and family to love me...
Questions: Will you review my cases, and give me info and advice on which one would best suit me, based on yalls' experiences. You don't have to tell me about care of
cavies here, I'll ask any questions I may have about that in other threads. Im mainly interested in time outside the cage, I will not be selfish and adopt all seven if I can't give them enough time, thats just unfair to the
cavy. So would floor time be the same for 2 piggies as it would for 3, 4 or 7?
Thanks in advance.
