Hello everybody! I joined the site a while ago then just...got out of it I guess. Actually I never really got in it. Now I joined the site to one, make some friends and two, I ran into a bit of a problem.... But, Call me Frankie and I am 20 year old male living in Pennslyvania
I recently lost a male special needs guinea pig named Cobaya. He was adopted and saved from being either snake food or put to sleep. He was attacked by another guinea pig leaving him blind and had bad balance problems which lead to he had a small problem walking. He came with a cage that the vet recommened. It was a pet store cage, but they said he couldn't be with other pigs and shouldn't have a big cage due to his needs. The cage was just under what this site recommened so I don't feel to bad. He had gotten really sick suddenly and had died before I could take him to get help.
Two weeks went by and I just couldn't handle the lonliness. I have no real friends out side of my two dogs and my pig, Cobaya. So with im gone, I felt really lonely. My parents went out to a shelter and found an all white female that was dropped of with 11 others. She was the last one. So, my parents brought her home to me and I fell in love with her. She was named Angel. She is jumpy and tends to run away. She refuses to eat anything other then lettus and carrots. I have had her for 3 weeks now.
The problem comes in when I took a camping trip with my dad. My mom is taking care of her. She is in good hands with my mom. Well, she gets a hold of us and apparently during the night she had 3 pups. We were never told she was pregnant. And in alll honestly, she just looked fat. We are guessing that they were born at approx 4am on 6/26/12. So now I go from one female, to 4. I checked them out and they look female. But now I suddenly have 3 more guinea pigs to take care of when i wasn't expecting it. So now I am trying to figure out what exactly to do with them and the cage situation.
The mother is all white. She had 2 all white pups that look like twins and an black and white pup. The mother is named Angel and the pups are a naming in progress.
I might keep one of the pups because guinea pigs do better that way. And I think I am going to take them back to the shelter. I just don't know what to do.
