Hi everyone!
My family has always been a cat/dog family, but can't have either in our current apartment, so (after some reading and research) we decided that guinea pigs would be good companion pets for our family.
We just adopted two guinea pigs (possibly sisters?) from our city's animal shelter - I think they're both abyssinians?
They're still adjusting to life in their new home - 2x4 C+C cage (which we are likely to expand shortly). The girls are pretty jumpy, and nervous, which I understand is to be expected. Not sure what their life was like pre-shelter. Nor how happy they were in the shelter.
It's been super helpful reading the forum discussions, so I thought I'd introduce myself and join in! Hi!
