I am K, and live in Missouri with my daughter and partner. We are also home to 3 parrots, a dog, a turtle, and our newest additions are Chelsea and Gretel, the guinea pigs. They are approx 6 years old, and were the class pets at my daughters school. They may be returning as class pets in the fall, they may move on to another family, or they may just stay with us, we will have to see what happens. After reading through this forum, I have realized their cage is way too small, so I am researching where to find the best deals on cubes and coroplast. Then I just have to find space in my house!
