Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for a bit, and I have to say that this is the most informative GP site I've found on the web!
I recently took in a guinea pig from a lady advertising him on free-cycle. Her story broke my heart, she couldn't keep him anymore because her land-lord threw a fit and she had to be rid of him by Friday. If no one took him by Friday, she didn't know what she was going to do with him. I spoke with her and told her I would take him in. That Friday morning she called and told me to come pick him up.
His name is Jake, and he is approximately 3 months old. He is in perfect health, and incredibly outgoing! He has so much personality! He makes me laugh so hard! Jake is currently in a pet-store cage, and I'm working on getting all the materials to build him a nice new C&C cage! Until I get his new home built, he's getting tons and tons of floor time. After he's moved to his new home, I plan on getting him a brother. Ly&Pigs has been very helpful in me finding rescues in my area, so hopefully I'll be able to find him a friend soon.
I've only had him a little over a week now, and he has completely stolen my heart!!
This site has been so helpful! I've found myself reading way into the night, I just can't learn enough about these little critters! I also have a Cockatiel, a cat and two dogs (who have no contact with Jake). All of my animals get the best of care, and I want to make sure Jake does too! Thanks to all of you for being so helpful!!
Sorry about the novel!! Here's Jake:
