Guys, I'm in an awful dilemma here and trying to figure out what would be less cruel on our GPs...
A couple of you might remember that one of the female GP's I bought from a pet store was pregnant and had 2 little babies, Chocolate and Cappuccino, 2 weeks ago. Well, it's quite clear to us that Cappuccino is a girl and chocolate is a boy, so now we have 3 girlies and 1 boy.
My dilemma is what would be less cruel on Chocolate: keeping him ourselves having him separated from the other 3 for about 5 months while we go through the process of neutering etc. or giving him for adoption....
Obviously for the adoption we'd have to find a good house. Hubbie wants to bring him to the pet shop, I refuse, i'd rather keep him. If we keep him we're probably going to have to get either another cage just for him or get the C&C materials shipped in from somewhere as I can't find the cubes in Ireland... but i haven't told hubbie about that expense yet, he thinks we can just block the ramp between the floors and keep him downstairs and the rest of them upstairs. I don't think upstairs is big enough for 3 GPs.... I'm thinking of selling him the idea of the C & C cage saying that in the summer we can use to bring them outside for fresh air for a while (while supervised, obviously....)
Any thoughts/suggestions from all of you GP lovers and experts?
