HI everyone!

Hi, my name is Lindsay. I'm a mother of 3 boys and back in March I bought my sons 3 guinea pigs. It was very much an impulse buy. We were at our local Petco looking at fish and my sons spotted the guinea pigs. They begged my husband and me for the guineas, and they were so cute we couldn't resist. Side note: Please do not lecture me about buying my guineas from Petco. I realize it is better to adopt. Like I said, it was an impulse buy. Anyway, long story short we thought we had purchased 3 females but as time went on we noticed one of the "girls" seemed different. Come to find out one of them was a male. Apparently Petco "missexed", not sure if that's even the correct term lol. So now both of the girls, Michonne and Carol are pregnant and seem to be due VERY soon. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I've never had guineas before but l have researched them like crazy, so I feel like I'm prepared for the babies. Right now I'm in the process of buying a larger cage or two. I'm obviously going to have to have my females and males in separate cages. My family members keep trying to talk me into giving the babies away but I honestay don't want to. I've never been an animal person until I got guineas. I think they are the sweetest and most adorable animals on the planet. I'll try to post pics soon. Sorry for such a long post! I look forward to talking with y'all soon and I'm excited to be part of the guinea pig community!
