:cheerful: Hello
My name is Sarah from Richmond, VA. I have had my cavies for 4 months now.
My first is Maggie Ginger. I rescued her. She had been returned by a family who did not want to pay th money to take her to the vet. I believe her old name was "Snuffles."
Maggie had severe ringworm, but thankfully has been in perfect health. Look how plump she is! Oh Yeah (she's always been a little fatty)
My other guinea, who just passed way 4/13/2006, was Minnie. She was Maggie's BEST BEST friend. She was little, so sweet and kind, and had nothing but love in her eyes.
See her blow a kiss to the camera!
Another cavy I rescued, the day before Minnie passed on, is Matilda Bell. I don't have a picture of her yet...still in the camera. When I rescued her she had long nails, very crusty eyes, was under weight, had a respiratory infection, was breathing heavily, and had mites. I thought she would die for sure....but after being on meds for weeks (she has now been off them for 3 days)...she is now plump tho not as big as Maggie...energetic...and as bossy as can be!
I will also be adopting 4 more either on 4/17/2006 or 4/18/2006. These are all ex-show cavies from a family who lived in CA. They showed them through 4-H and after they moved to VA, lost all interest. So...I will add 2 female 2 1/2 yr old tri-colored Tortoise Peruvians named Cozy & Snowpuff, 1 male almost 4 yr old tri-colored Tortoise Peruvian named Shaggy, and 1 male Texel almost 4 yr old named Kraemer to the bunch.
Right now Kraemer has lice I think...I am confident he will get better considering Maggie and Matilda have.
I can't forget one thing though...I do not own a cavy cage yet. I am still working on saving up the money to buy all the materials to build a really nice one...with 6 cavies it'll need to be huge! For now, males will be seperated and the 4 girls will be in the pairs they are used to.
Well, I've just rambled on. Thanks for reading! I would love to know if there are any other from Richmond, VA too
