Hi all! I have finally joined the forum after, oh, about a year and a half of being a newbie to the guinea pig world. The learning curve sure was steep! But I have to give Love and thanks to all who post here and give out such wonderful advice and feedback. Even with just browsing, I helped my not so healthy first girl through some rough patches. Now my two girls are happy and secure in their tricked out, double decker home. this site and all of it's wonderful users and contributors helped me go from a rube to a cavy slave!
