As a child, I always loved having pet guinea pigs. From the time I was about 4 until I was 12 I had 4 different pigs.
Last week I took in 2 black and white guinea pigs from a family that could no longer take care of them. Unfortunately, they were housed together, and after a week of watching the female closely, I am positive she is very pregnant. I will be posting about that later...
Anyway, we got lucky...these pigs love my kids (age 16 months and 2.5 years) and don't hold it against my kids when they get too rough with the petting (poor piggies! we're working on it...)
Here is my favorite, the male, Blaster:
I can't make the picture bigger, so hopefully it is bigger on the actual post!
