I joined this forum a little while after I got my guinea pig, Bandit. Unfortunately, I did get her from a pet store, but she is a healthy pig (I took her to the vet for a check up). I also recently built a C&C for her yesterday and now she looks happier and more relaxed. She gets veggies daily and unlimited amounts of hay. I am thinking of getting a friend for her (adopting this time.) I'm really interested in getting a neutered male, but I know that a female will probably be best for her. I find that this forum is very informative and looking forward to getting some more advice about good cavy care. I'm looking forward to learning as much as possible.
