Woot! I decided to start my own thread about my guinea pigs. This is where I'll post all of my updates and such so that the updates don't get all spread out and hard to piece together. So if you want to hear about my guinea pigs, come here! I'll start new threads for emergencies that need attention immediately, but all the other stuff will stay here.
First, I'll tell a little bit about my setup. I have just finished building a 2x6 C&C cage with a 1x2 loft. My dad helped a ton, and for that I am forever grateful. I would have lost patience a long time ago, but he just kept working at it (I'm talking mainly about the ramp... the cage itself wasn't so hard). I'll post pictures as soon as I'm done writing this, so they'll be up.
Now to talk about my cavies, and here's where I could go on forever! I am getting sisters from a friend. The mother piggie was a classroom pet, and she was miserable. The teacher later found out that she was pregnant. My friend kindly insisted that she take over the mother's care from then on. The babies were born on Winston Churchill's birthday. I'm so excited to get my bundles of fur! They'll be coming over this weekend. I'll be sure to make plenty of pigtures available. The sisters are Abysinnians, one is solid black and the other is black with a splotch or two of orange-red. The black one will be named Stella, and the other will be named Caitra. My sister came up with 'Caitra'... I'm not sure that I'm fond of it... but it's only fair since I named Stella and we're both taking care of them. Anyway, I think I've done enough talking (or typing) for a while. I'll shutup... hopefully you'll make it through all of this text and still have questions for me, because I'll be waiting for them. lol
P.S.
Eo is my screename's nickname, it's rather sad that I have a nickname for my nickname... but that's the way it worked out. I was dubbed Eo by some friends on a forum. Eolith is also the name of my goddess in my story, but I needn't get into that...
