Hi there. My name is Sarah, I'm 19, I live in Indiana with my Husband and my new Piggy Dustin. I don't have any pictures at the moment (My Digi cam eats batteries for snacks!) but you better believe I will have them soon.
I adopted Dustin from a friend who bought him for his daughter. She only visited once in a while and never gave the poor guy any attention! They were also feeding him rabbit and mice food, not the proper pellets. He had no hay in his very small pet store cage, was sitting in the basement next to a leaking air conditioner, and I just wouldn't take no for an answer!
Now hes here with me, my husband has already fallen in love and Dustin has everything he needs except for a bigger cage, and a new piggy friend. I've had him for 3 days now and the search is on. My plan for a bigger cage is to get some coroplast from Sues ebay store and then some grids from BB&B which was recomended by another user here.
I am having a hard time, however, locating a shelter or rescue near by that has guinea pigs. I've searched on Petfinder.com, craigs list, guinea pig home, and even did a search on google, and still have not found anything. If there are any other resources I am missing please let me know! I really need to adopt a new friend for Dustin as soon as possible.
Thats about it for now. I'm sure I will be a frequent poster since I'm semi new to this and want to make sure I take care of my little angel (soon to be angels) the best I possibly can!
