Hi!
My five year old daughter has been expressing interest in having a pet. My husband and I kept ferrets for years before we had children but they are not the best pet for younger kids so we started looking at guinea pigs. I did some research up front and bought a 2x4 C&C covered cage kit from the guineapigzone. We bought two girls from ThatFishPlace the other night and my daughter named them Tulip and Rose. Right now we are using carefresh bedding until I can sew some fleece liners. Today we made a fleece forest from some scraps I had in my sewing box and Tulip especially seems to love it.
I use cloth diapers on my kids and I find it funny how a lot of the advice here regarding bedding/washing/materials/ect is the exact same thing I read on the diaper forums!
I look forward to reading here and learning from all of you but I do have one question up front. The girls are pretty scared and cry when we pick them up, is that normal?
