Hello, everyone. I believe I have got all the rules and other required readings taken care of. I have done a lot of searching through the forums, so as not to ask too many questions that have already been answered.
I am in Mississippi. On Saturday (three days ago) I got two 4-week-old black & white cavy brothers. These are the first I have ever owned. My family is enjoying them very much. I haven't settled on names yet.
The pigs are slowly warming up to me. I have been holding them quietly for an extended period (half an hour to 45 minutes) every evening so they get used to me. I am at work during the day, so unfortunately I can't carry them around in a sling all day. So far, they seem to prefer this quiet contact to floor-play. They are so utterly content to cuddle up under my chin. I'm sure they will be more active when they are more comfortable with me.
Good to meet y'all.
