Just wanted to say hello

I just wanted to introduce myself and our piggies. I have been "lurking" since just after we became piggie owners but have been a little nervous to post...our pigs did come from a pet store-bought by grampa for my kids (and me). Our first one came from a family owned pet store her name is Isabelle (Izzy for short) our other 2 girls, Rosie and Brownie, unfortunatly came from Petland both had mites and unbeknownst to us were pregnant. So now 3 guineas have become 7. They were all born just this week each had 2 babies. I must admit I did know about adoption, 5 hours just seemed a long drive and I really did not realize how bad the pet store and breeder situation was I guess I just never thought about where the animals come from- dumb I know. But I think alot of people think like that kind of "out of site out of mind" we just see cute animals not what is behind the scenes. It makes me sad to think of what my girls went through before we got them. My eyes are open now. So I wanted to get that out of the way because I do love our piggies and the information I have gotten off this site has been amazing and so helpful. So thank you all for that. I know I will have a ton of questions in the near future I am really wanting to build a C&C cage and I will need to learn how to sex these babies-but then I may just have the vet do that I don't know if I trust myself to do that. So hello from Kim (Mikey & Rachey) and Izzy, Rosie, Brownie and (babies-Toad, Mini, Bandit and Mouse) and I will try and post some pictures this weekend. Oh I almost forgot all 3 of our girls are around 5 months old. And I will either try to find good homes for our babies and if thats not possible I will keep them (I'll probably be sleepin in the dog house for awhile on that one) my husband thinks we have enough animals...1 dog, 2 cats, a turtle and now 7 guineas.
