Hello all,
My name is Kaitee and I am going to be taking home that was just born on Saturday this Sunday. My brother's friend's cavies had a litter and they are keeping all except for my Milton. No... I didn't name him Milton for any particular reason, but I do like Paradise Lost by John Milton.
So, just by happen-stance yesterday, I agreed to take on the baby. I held him for a while and seemed quite content and fell asleep in my hands before I had to leave him.
I'm someone who likes to take the best possible care of their pets (though, I only have a yellow lab at the moment named Bonny), so I'm doing a lot of research on cavies and I feel like I'm off to a good start. I have a 40 in. x 20 in. cage right now, but I hope to get a C&C cage once the little guy grows up a bit more. I'm also in the process of setting up his cage at the moment. I feel that I've done well picking out toys and such. I just need to construct a shelf thing with a ramp because the plastic shelf that came with the cage is bent. I also read somewhere that they like rocks. Should I go pick up a stone outside and put it in his cage?
Anyhow, I'm glad to be getting this little guy. I've been wanting a small animal to hold and pet. After all, us Aspergians (mild autistic disorder) are tactile and like to feel different textures (Milton's fur is vastly different from Bonny's). I will post a picture of the cage and of little Milton when he arrives on Sunday.
I'll be looking forward to conversing with and getting to know you all.
