Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Doesn't believe me! | | I have a friend who recently bought a guinea pig. She knows that it's bad to buy from a petstore, but bought anyways, even after I showed her this site. She says she doesn't need a friend for her guinea pig because her dogs are its "friend". She never gives it floor time, and says that the cage is, "big enough". (petstore cage). She does occasionally give her (or he) veggies, but not every day. She uses shavings, and keeps them nice and clean.
I've showed her this site, but she still doesn't change. She also believes that her pig is a girl and it can't be pregnant and was "separated from the boys at the store". How can I get her to change her ways? Should I send her specific links to the stickies? It is probably overwhelming at first to read it all, so maybe if emailed her certain important things, she would start to get the idea. I just don't want to be rude to her, but I'm not sure how to tell her that she's not really treating her guinea pig as well as she could be! |
