Hello, I am new to the forum. My name is Sarah, and we live in Augusta, GA. If you are into Golf, we are the city that hosts the Masters Golf Tournament every year.
I would like to adopt a guinea pig sometime soon. I had several when I was in my pre-teens, and would like to have at least 2 again. I have a husband, and one child, Anna who is 2 years old. I would be the primary caregiver, as they would be my pets.
I am currently surfing the rescue internet sites for my region, and I have had several questions.
1. What are these 'lethals' that several people have mentioned? I have been to the sticky-ed thread, but I am still a little clueless.
2. The closest small animal (guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets etc.) is in Athens, GA at the University of Georgia School of Vet. Medicine. That is about 2 hours away from me. Is that too far for a vet to be?
3. I have a 'dressing/nursery room off the Master Bedroom in our new house. That is where I would like to keep the cage. It is not enclosed, but like a large alcove off our bedroom. I will be purchasing a CavyCage for the pigs. Is this an acceptable place to house the pigs?
If anyone here knows of any pigs in need of rescue in my region, please email me. I think that a pair would be better than just one, but I don't think I would be equiped to handle more than 4.
Thanks for reading my rambling post!
