Hello! After many hours of reading here, I finally decided to introduce myself. I lived on a farm a majority of my life, and very much in love with animals. I am currently seeking a degree in psychology and I am a very new guinea pig owner.
I've learned so much already and I am so grateful. I learned not to use vita-drops in water, snack shacks, generic foods, too much of one veggie and much much more.
Now, onto my piggy. I have a male piggy, that is a little brown / black colour. He kind of reminds me of a beaver. I've lovingly named him Bandit. I literally found him outside a dumpster, in a box, near my condo. I took him to the vet, he was malnourished and had lice. He's currently lice free and putting on some weight! For now, I only have one, much to my dismay. I have read multiple times that guinea pigs require more than one. So, I will be looking into adopting another one as soon as possible.
I have a regular store cage, at the moment, I am currently planning out a C&C one. :cheerful: So, no worries. I know you all must be concerned! I give him as much floor time as possible because I am unhappy with his cage.
Lastly, I have a question about a couple of videos I found.

There are some videos explaining how to clip your Guinea Pigs nails, and How to bathe your guinea pig. (I tend to learn better through the videos) I was wondering if these are acceptable practices.
Thank you for your time, and advice!
