Hello!
I'm Hikuu and I from in the Midwest. I'm proud to say that I my adoption application was recently approved by a local rescue organization; I will soon be a fellow cavy slave. I can't tell you how excited I am for this joyous occasion! I'm still gathering all the proper supplies and the materials for a C & C cage. I've been doing research for months now, and I just have to say how wonderful and informative this site has been.
I'll be certain to show pictures once everything finally falls into place. I'm adopting one sow for now. Please don't think too badly of me! The rescue organization I'm adopting from won't let anyone adopt a single piggy if they're already bonded. I'm at home most of the time, so I hope she doesn't become lonely. We'll constantly be in the same room. I plan on being very devoted and supplying her with lots of love, floor time, lap time, care, toys, and plenty of veggie treats. I know there's no true substitute for another cavy, but since she's my only furry companion, she'll have my undivided attention. I can hardly wait for adoption day!
With that being said, I was curious on what sort of pet carriers you guys used when you first took your lovable critters home. A cavy book I have advises a small airline approved carrier lined with newspaper. I also think having hay in there and water on hand would help make the ride more comfortable. Any thoughts? The car ride will be about 43 minutes. Thanks!
