Re: Convincing mom about C&C Cage.

Sure! I might not be a very good example about the cage though... Anyway:
I've just been telling my mom how she would like to live in a closet or think of locking a cat in a litterbox and having it live in that litterbox. She really wanted to say yes but she would be embarrassed in front of my family. I went ahead and bought grids from Target and accidently dropped them in a puddle making them un-returnable. Since I paid for everything and pay for everything (including her food, bedding, etc.), she finally let me build a temp cage in her/living room until my room is redone and I make space to move her back in.
For adopting, I went onto maybe three-five different sites (including this one), and went searching through the forums on anything I could find on Guinea Pig social life. I ended up with a 17 page report of things copied and pasted (with sources) and changed the font down so it became 14 pages. I printed them out and had my sister (any adult that aggrees with you will work) come over and we presented it to my mom and she said if my grades are 85+ during the first trimester, we could buy another Guinea Pig. I did not agree. So then I informed my mom that I would like to adopt from a great rescue I found and that they usually adopt out in pairs. So that's the deal.
Hopefully that will help people in my previous situation. And if anyone wants that 14 page report, message me and I can pm or e-mail it to you.
