So glad I found this group!

Hi there! Late last winter I bought my daughter a guinea pig from a pet store (gasp! I now know better) complete with a pet store cage ( double gasp!). Sammie is a boy( the smooth brown and white one) . After a few weeks I started reading a lot on the internet and stumbled across this amazing group. I have been able to make so many positive changes thanks to you all. A bigger cage, Better food, better treats, better toys that I could make myself, better quality hay, etc. Sammie now has a roomie that was adopted from a local rescue. His name is Freddie and he is just so cute, he looks like he's wearing black chaps on his hind legs. They are both sweet boys with very different personalities. Sammie is quiet whereas Freddie is very vocal. Sammie likes to be picked up and purs when petted and Freddie is a bit more skittish but likes to be pet under his chin. I can't say that Sammie and Freddie are best friends ( there's no snuggling or playing together) but they don't fight, they co-exist. I learned quickly that I had to go from a big C & C cage to a giant one to help with that. My finger lost a fight with the box cutter during the expansion and I ended up in surgery but that's a story for another day. Pinterest craft gone wrong what can I say... Anyhow, thanks for the advice and support. I love looking at all the cute pics especially the piggies all dressed up! And although I tell my girls the pigs are theirs they are most definitely mine LOL!!!

(sorry the pics are upside down, not sure how to correct that)
