Katie, I think you need to bring all of that info over to another post as well. Go to the post called New Piggies are fun. I think I need help over there.

you shouldnt go over there because he isnt the one who got all mean about adopting he was trying to talk about his new pggies NOT where he got them from

**DaCourt** · #43 11-18-04, 05:39 pm

It is still the same conversation. The information is still relevant.

**dagwellismypigy** · #44 11-18-04, 05:45 pm

but he wasnt trying to start a debate nor was i.
he was informing the c&c people of his new cage and i was just trying to help decide whether to buy a guinea pig or not

Dagwell, you've read our posts I presume. You know then, that the answer is, simply: NO. It is not ok to buy a cavy from a store. End of discussion.

**dagwellismypigy** · #46 11-18-04, 06:11 pm

you cant end my discussion its my discussion and if it was that simple why did u get all worked up about it ..
now its the end of the discussion

Dagwell, I'm sorry if my post offended you. I just thought that this was getting a bit out of hand. Sorry I ended it without you agreeing. I am not getting all worked up, I am simply presenting the facts as I see them. I apologize.

i am thinking of adopting a piggy but i jsut really think the one at the petstore ist cool and ill feel really bad if it goes to a bad home or what not so thats the only reason i posted

OK. I have one last idea. How about you contact these rescues and explain your situation and transportation problems. Maybe they have a volunteer there who would be more than happy to help you. You'd be surprised how people will help you if you just ask.

If you buy a pig from the pet store, it isn't helping anything. That guinea pig will just be replaced by another one.

**Sierra** · #52 11-19-04, 02:43 pm

Then what's the matter. Wait. If you want to be a good guinea pig parent you should have the patience to get one from a good source.

**Piglet** · #53 11-19-04, 03:20 pm

Exactly. Be patient and wait

i iknooooww im not complainint IT WAS JUST A QUESTION

**fleur** · #55 11-19-04, 11:45 pm

If you want the one from the pet store and really like it go and get it.I got mine from a pet store and he is in good health nothing wrong with him at all .If you had a connection with him thats cool I think you need to have a connection with your animals.I have a connection with all my animals.I dont think getting one from a store makes any difference.People are going to breed them for money regardless. I also feel sorry for them sitting in a pet store.

**dagwellismypigy** · #56 11-20-04, 12:01 am

wow some one who agrees with me thats amazing. but i do see why adopting is good and theres one i like hmm im still absorbing all of my new info to decide

**fleur** · #57 11-20-04, 12:15 am

I have the same problem around here with adopting there arnt any places to adopt from apart from the R.S.P.C.A and they are very far and few between.

I feel sorry for the ones dying in shelters. They're the helpless ones. It's the breeders fault there are so many homeless animals and they're dying every day.
