Hi everyone,
Well for our son's preschool grad, we got him and us a very handsome and just overall cool guy named Ramone. Shane picked the name and it fits him perfectly. I really wished that I had found this website sooner because we would have done things so differently!! We got Ramone May 28th. The previous day, my husband and I went to PetSmart and PetCo to see what they had. We were thinking about getting a hamster but after doing research on those and finding out they bite, we started looking into Guinea Pigs. When I held Ramone, I wanted to bring him home that day but, we needed to talk to Shane first. I feel that we have been very lucky with him from what I have read in posts. He does not have any mites and his skin looks great. He is eating and drinking good and bowl movements are plentiful!
Today I finished making his C&C home. Once he got in it, he started jumping for joy and talking like crazy. It is a 2X3 grid. I do have a question though. We placed the old small cage on top and have a ramp going up to it. How much of an angle is too much? I am just concerned that he will not be able to go up and down. I wanted to have the top as his bathroom and the bottom for everything else. If I am not able to use the top then the next question is, how easy is it for him to learn to use a litter box? I think that for tonight, I am going to place him on top and then watch him in the morning to see if he can get down the ramp.
Thank you so much for your input and I will post pictures of his new home once I take them.
