Hi! My name is Shawna. I am a new mom to 2 guinea pigs. My son picked out the guinea pigs on his birthday in February. Our little boys had to be returned within 3 days because I noticed a skin condition. They were treated for parasites. Once they were healthy, we were able to adopt them back after 3 long weeks of waiting and checking on them.

My son is still deciding on a name for them. He has started calling one Chewy.

I found this website last week. The information that I have found has been great! I saw the great C&C cages and told my husband that we had to build one during my spring break. We were looking for a way to give them more room and this was perfect! The boys got their new home on Wednesday. I found the directions for a cuddle cup at this site and started sewing. I made them each one Thursday and sleeping bags on Friday. I was so happy to find them in their new beds last night. I will be sewing more tonight.



Now, I would like to get them a litter box and improve their eating area. We have other pets so they do have a top to their home.

Welcome. Cute piggies but please adopt from a rescue or shelter next time. Sick pet store pigs are common and they come from breeding mills.

Nice job on the cage, and spectacularly comfy looking cuddle cups and sleeping bags! Love the sheepies.

Welcome.

Thank you for the welcome. My life got busy and I was not able to reply sooner. I see that I accidently deleted the photo that I had of my boys. I need to get that replaced as soon as I figure out how to modify my posts. Sorry about that.

We adopted our guinea pigs from Pet Smart. We have to stay away from our local animal shelter because each time that we visit there, we end up coming home with another cat. The times that we have been there, they did not have guinea pigs. We were afraid that if we stopped by there on my son's birthday, we would have brought home another cat.
