Well I'm CJ, I live in Downey and Ive had my cavys for a couple of months now. My first one is Peppermint (Dont know the breed name). My cousin gave him to me because he was allergic to Peppermint. My secod guinea pig is a black abbysinian named Black (cant think of a name so yeah..). My little brother spotted this guy buy some trash cans on our block and he had a huge bag of cedar bedding, a food bowl, and a water bottle. We were surprised because we had a lot of cats in the neighborhood and he didnt get threatened by any. (The cage door was open). Right now theyre doing ok in a 2x5 c&c cage and here are some pics.

Here are some pics.

I'm so glad you were able to save Black. I can't believe someone would just dump him like that. You may consider treating both boys for mites and get them in for a vet well check up especially Black. I'd do it just to be on the safe side. Congrats on saving these cuties. And welcome!

I already got them treated for mites and the checkup. The vet said they were healthy but Black was a little dehydrated and wasnt given enough food. Hes ok now though.

Welcome to the forum. Your guinea pigs are very cute. Peppermints breed is an American. I am glad you rescued Black from those conditions.

Wow! How could have somebody done such a thing to an adorable creature like that!:weepy: You are wonderful for taking him in and giving him the care and love that you do! You've done everything by the book - I think you have a lot to teach us all! A warm welcome to you and the cutties (those are some cute pigtures, I especially love the last one of Black). By the way, I love his name - it's simple and has a taste to it! Welcome!
