I am a college student majoring in sociology. I also have two cats, and I absolutely adore my guinea pigs!
I adopted them on October 31, 2011 from a couple that had posted on the GuineaPigZone website, and I had been reading this website for several months before I got them.
Location:

Guinea Pigs:
Piggy and Buttercup are both females and about 4 years old each. Piggy is the dominant one and sometimes bosses Buttercup around, but Buttercup can hold her own. Being faster and more nimble, she sometimes steals veggies right out of her Piggy's mout
My Cage:
They live in a 2x4 C&C cage with a 2x1.5 pet store cage attached in an L shape as a hay area. There cage is fleece lined, and I proudly hand sewed the liners myself!
