Hello, Newbie here

Hi, I am in the process of adopting 3 piggies. They are for the whole family to enjoy, not just for my 3 daughters, 2 of which are older and are interested in them also. My other daughter is 2 and even though she is gentle I will keep her a safe distance away from the pigs for a few more years. I make it a point to adopt animals rather than buy, all of my dogs I have ever owned have been rescues, and cats, and guinea pigs that I had about 20 years ago ( I had 6 of them- 10 in my life time - soon to be more!!!) I have always liked these little guys and can't wait to teach my kids about their individual quirks and how to tell when they want something and all those funny popcorn moments. I have probably done SO many book reports during my school years as a kid about guinea pigs my teachers probably were really well educated on them also! Now I am 29 with kids of my own and I have decided I miss having them around and found some at a shelter/rescue that needed a home. I wish I had room for all of them but sadly I don't. I have access to good hay and alfalfa cubes because of my horse I have to keep at my mothers house at the moment-where we live now is only 1/2 acre- she has 5 acres and kinda bought the horse for herself to begin with but now has degerative vertebrae and can't ride so he's turned into my horse, but thats getting off topic I guess. I am looking forward to updating my education on these little guys I am sure so much has changed in the past years that I haven't had them. I also am purchasing a 2x4 C & C cage with them and I already have a 2x4 cage & a 2x3 cage and a 6 ft playpen for outdoors I also bought a big bag of Mazuri Guinea pig food and a big bale of pine shavings for litter( I know never to use Cedar) I stay at home with my 2 yr old daughter so I will be able to give lots of attention and floor time- obviously since I have a 2 yr old I have plenty of baby gates and will be able to keep her away from the piggies yet she will still be able to see them and interact through the gate(s) and since my house is baby proofed that means I have all wires and things of that sort already gathered up and blocked off so I think we are good to go...ptimist:
