  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0
I just came back from giving some extra blankies we had to my shelter. Well anyways when I was there, there was a girl who was about 6 or 7 with her mom and dad looking the animals. She said these exact words: "Mommy I want a cavy!!!" The mom: "What's a cavy dear?" Girl: "It's a guinea pig duhhh!" Mom: "Oh well we don't have enough money to buy those $500 cages." Girl: "Well we can afford veggetables, vet trips hay and pellets right?" Mom: "Yes dear." Girl: "Well if we make a c&c cage like that one (points to guinea pig's cage). Dad to me: "How much did that cost?" Me: "Around $50 (2x4)." Dad to daugther: "Ok we can get a guinea pig!" Then I reccomended this site and guinealynx. I thought that was pretty amazing. Maybe she lurked this site or something?       |

Wow, 7 and surfing the internet? Great parenting, she obviously wasnt supervised. I think it's great she knew about them, but I hope it wasnt because she saw this website without supervision from her parents, since she was online. I hope her parents check out this site at least, since they will be primary caretakers. |

I talked to the parents today (when they adopted it) and they said they told her she asked them if she could look at pictures of guinea pigs and they saw her in the photo gallery on what they assume is this forum (after lurking today). So they probably didn't see her reading stuff on this site. |
