New pig slave(s) in Texas

The first thing to do is turn them both over and compare their private parts. Pet stores are notorious for mis-sexing guinea pigs, and we've had many a pregnant "male" on here .!

That's ok texas. Pet store piggies need love too. They live in very bad conditions as we all know. Maybe you could rescue one or two once you get settled. The more the merrier! From one new momma to another, good luck and keep reading !

Hi! I'm Teresa and my teenage daughter is Rebecca.

We are new, first time guinea pig mommas to two young females. Skittles is Rebecca's and Ginger belongs to me. Skittles is an American? and I was told Ginger is an Abyssinian. Supposedly they are from the same litter and are now anywhere from 4 weeks to about 7 weeks old . I'm not sure because I was told different ages by 2 different salespeople.

We went the pet store route before knowing about rescues or adoptions so please don't hate on us. We also only have a pet store cage right now but will be fixing that quickly. We have had our girls for 1 week and 4 days respectively.

I quickly realized how little we know about how to be proper pig mommas and I'm here partially to correct that. I will be exploring the various threads so watch for more posts from me soon.
