So I'm not really new to the site but I haven't posted an introduction yet. So about a month ago I got Coco from a friend of mine. She was real quiet and shy. About a week later she was doing some wheeking (she now begs for food
). I did get her a "friend" from the petstore. I did not quarantine her but separated the c&c. She died of a URI two days later. Luckily Coco did not get it 
. So today I finally got her another friend off of craigslist. She is a light brown abby. So cute. We named her before we picked her up today, cinnamon. The real funny part is that when I meet with the lady she had her in one of the 2-pack cereal boxes of....cinnamon toast crunch!
We planned at meeting at the mall in which cinnamon was purchased. I've never been there so went early to look around. I went into the petstore that cinnamon once lived. I had to leave it was so sad. They had about 8 pigs in one cage (large enough for only 2 is my guess) with no hiding places. The rats and mice were crammed in 10 gallon tanks, I saw at least one rat that had mites or scabs all over her. :weepy:
I of course am quarantining her this time. But feel bad since she's in a pet store cage. But it's only temporary. She was wheeking like crazy once I put her in her cage. I think that she was looking for her friend from her previous home. But she seems way more outgoing then coco. She is eating and drinking like normal unlike coco did when she first came. I am worried about when it comes time for bonding. But I'll do the buddy bath.
