Hi. My name is Bill, I'm 26, married, and have a seven year old stepdaughter. We just got our first guinea yesterday and she is awesome. At least I think she's a she. She is only four weeks old and kinda shy so I haven't been able to confirm that yet. It was total luck that I got her. A friend that I work with just stopped me in the hall and said "hey you want a free guinea pig." Knowing that my wife had been taking interest in them lately at the pet store ( I have three dogs). I said sure. The lady that I got her from thought she had two boys and turns out one of them was a girl and pregnant. Like I said before she is only four weeks old and very shy at the moment. She is a rust, orange color and being that we think she is a girl, we call her Sandy. If she turns out to be a he we'll change the name to Rusty. Being this is our first guinea I don't know much about them. But I'm sure you all will help me with that. Well I've rambled on long enough. See you on the boards.
