Hello My name is Gabby. I live central California. I have forever wanted a guinea pig but can't seem to get my parents on board with the idea. At a moment last year I was so close in getting my parents to give in but life is funny and somehow I ended up rescuing a Box Turtle and Adopting a Desert Tortoise Hatchling. I totally went from fur to scales and shells. But that is ok I love all my pets . I hope that one day I can adopt or rescue some guinea pigs, till then I decided of joining a forum and learn as a much as I can about them and their care.
