Mia and Sierra's story

First of all I would like to say hello to everyone here. I became a member of this site after much research on guinea pigs. I would like to say thanks to all the people that have given so much information. It really helped me learn so much. I adopted Mia and Sierra from a woman who did not want them any longer. I found them in craigs list. Learning that they are mother and daughter and that they were in good health I adopted them the very next day. Oh god was I glad to get them away from her. She had been keeping them in a ten gallon fish aquarium. When I asked what their favorite veggies were she told me that she feeds them lettuce and carrots mostly. Knowing carrots were not good for them everyday I knew this lady had no idea about the true needs of guinea pigs. I had already ordered a cavy cage from Sue, and it was already set up at the my house. I quickly packed up the girls and took them straight home. They were scared at first but by the very next day both were coming right up to me and were running in their cage and popcorning. Even their poor little nails had never been trimed. Mia's were so long that they were curling under. Now they both are neatly trimmed up and loving their home and I can tell that I have two very happy piggies. Mia is the black and white abby, she is the mother. Sierra is the smooth coated brown one.
