I am JB's dad. JB is my 10 year old daughter. Her real name is Julia, but I have called her June Bug (JB for short) for her entire life.
We are exploring the possibility of getting two Guinea Pigs. JB had a hamster (Syrian Black Bear) named Squeekers who died suddenly a few nights ago. The vet believes it to have been from a genetic heart defect. Squeekers was one of the family and received excellent care. Her loss has been hard for all of us to take.
We are going to get a new pet, or pets. We, as a family, have decided not to get another hamster. We all agree that it would be too much like trying to replace Squeekers, who is irreplaceable. So, we are looking into Guinea Pigs.
We are doing our research first to make sure we can provide the perfect home for our new family member/s. So, here we are! We have some questions that I am going to post in the proper forums. We appreciate any help or info we can get.
