I'm Mea, aka Magewrite. I'm new to the forum, but I'm a long-time guinea pig owner. I got my first one when I was 4, and I've cared for a total of 11 in the 10 years we've had guinea pigs! Currently, I'm loving on Beauty-Bells, whom I've had since she was 2weeks old and is now 3, and Sunshine, whom I've had for just a few months and is about a 1 and a half. The best picture I have of them together is currently my avatar
I plan on posting a tutorial on how to handfeed guinea pigs later, since Beauty is currently needing to be hand fed ever 2 hours, and maybe even an introduction vid so you can meet my sweeties.
I found the forum when Mom and I decided to switch to fleece from Carefresh bedding, and found that getting a C&C cage with fleece flippers was the easiest way to do that. My girls have *just* moved in to their 2x4 C&C cage with a grid-divider at the half way point for the night time when we can't supervise them. Unfortunately, we have some trouble getting these two to play nice. Before this, they were in a slightly shorter but slightly wider set-up with a store-bought cage (a very large one) and an extended play-yard to make it all big enough. It was big enough for them, but I really like having them all in one cage now!
Anyway, I'm happy to answer questions about guinea pigs since I've had so much experience with them, and I'm excited to learn more from all you wonderful piggie owners!
