Hello there!
I'm a stay at home, homeschooling mom of a wonderful 10 year old. We visited grandma recently, who had a guinea pig, and let me tell you... it was love at first sight! My boy came home and researched and we agreed to get a guinea pig. Then went back and got another one! They are still working out who's boss, (so far, Cinna is winning because she is bigger.)
My son, Wil, picked out Cinna. He had to handle and see very guinea pig in town before he had her in his arms and he said that was it, she was the one! I found Katniss a couple days later, and I adore her!
First, we got Cinna, followed by tiny Katniss. Here they are in their new midwestern habitat, with my (first attempt) sewing project of a fleece cage liner!
I plan on some adjustments. I left the cage liner open on one end, though secured with a temp closure to avoid burrowing piggies, while I decide on what to use in between the fleece. Currently, I'm using up the cage liners I bought for their first misguided petstore cage) I'm also working on a couple tunnels, cuddly beds etc, with some of the other fleece I bought. (Joanne's 50% off sale is so hard to resist!)
Edited to add, they slip and slide on that ramp and I'm working on a new cover for that as well so they can grip better with the fleece!
I have definitely learned a LOT lurking these forums, and I thought it was about time to say hello! So.... Hello!
