Hello, I'm new

Hi, my name is Mel. I've owned/bred/showed hamsters for 8 years and yesterday for my (age removed) b-day, I got my first Guinea Pig. My dad brought her home from work, as his co-workers daughter could not keep her any longer, and so now, here I am. I think I've determined she's a Black Dutch Silkie/Sheltie. She's 2 1/2 years old and very sweet. I've dubbed her Fluff. hehehe. Any info about them would be great. I've been looking on the internet for a while trying to find out about piggies in general, so I do need some help. Feel free to email me if you have some advice. I'll be posting lots of questions when I find the question board on this cool forum, so please make sure to come and see if you can answer them.
