Today, it is Guinea Thanksgiving in our household. We went to do our normal weekly shopping today, but we ended up with a lot of great items for our girls. We bought Oxbow Western Timothy hay for the first time, and I am pleased! Usually, we would get Kaytee, and it was okay, but Oxbow is great! I mean I even wanted to try a piece because it smelled so good! It's really nice and green also. Anyway, we got a ton of veggies at Wal-Mart/Meijers. Here's a list of what we got and about how much it cost:

Today, we went to Petsmart (blah) and bought Oxbow Cavy Performance and Orchard Grass hay for our girls and I cannot even begin to tell you how pleased I am!

We let her go into floor time with the other two while we searched online for some answers. We then learned how serious diarrhea was in guinea pigs

I am so happy to say that our quarantine and introductions with our new female Villette (Villie) went very well! The first day of introductions was a little rough, which was very expected with our "Wild Child" Abys, Freya and Haylee. Freya was our first of the three and has a strong, dominant personality because of it. Our second female Haylee was very submissive to Freya, so that worked out well.
