Hello all! I used to have a guinea pig when I was younger (9 yrs. old). Freddy was bought from a petstore (it was a present), and he died within a year and a half. I am much older now and know WAY MORE about taking care of them.
I am going out of town this weekend and on June 10th, so I'm holding off on adopting until then, that way I won't be leaving them alone when they're just getting used to my house.
I am in the process of putting together a CC cage. My boyfriend was in charge of locating coroplast dealers, and since I'm in Houston I have a feeling it won't be hard. He's found places already so now it's just time for comparing. I was in charge of finding an exotic vet and looking for the gp themselves. Found the vet, but not the gps! I was curious and looked at some pet stores... so sad. I saw one petstore who were feeding their gps pellets w/ sunflower seeds (shells attached!) AND were using pine bedding. So sad...
Anyway, I am looking for 2 guinea pigs (especially important since I'm still in college and I am gone for about 5 hrs a day)... anyone know of gps needing homes in Houston? There is a shelter here called Citizens for Animal Protection and I checked them out yesterday, but they only had 1 female. I would like to have 2 females.
