Hi,
We are entering the world of cavies thanks to our 7 yr old daughter who has been patiently (?) hoping for a pet for a long time. Her mom unfortunately is allergic to almost everything with four legs Mom promised however to go get tested and lo and behold, she is not allergic to Guinea Pigs, so here we are!
We will be (hopefully) getting two this weekend from a somewhat local farm that raises them. Caitlin (my daughter) would really like a teddy and a smooth or crested but we'll see what they have weaned. I have a feeling that we'll be coming home with two regardless of what kind they are!
This site is incredible! I have really enjoyed reading it the last few days - figuring out cages, accessories, feeding, floor time etc. What a terrific resource.
I'll have to post photos once we get them home and moved in!
Cheers,
Chris
