Hi,
I am new to piggies and actually do not have any yet but am looking to buy some very soon! Mum has guinea pigs so I am familiar with them but cannot wait to get some of my own. I am afraid I will be buying from a pet shop as not many piggies are available for adoption here plus I feel bad for the ones in the pet store because some of them are bought as live food for large snakes so I really want to save a couple.
I am planning on getting two girls as the males mum bought were fine together until they reached about 8 months old and then started to fight and had to be separated. The only thing I am worried about is if the girls are pregnant when I buy them and I do not realize...... The pet shop houses the males and females separately but you never really know what housing the breeders have kept them in.....
any tips on buying would be appreciated
