Hey guys my name is Teee i just recently adopted my best friend's stepbrothers' piggie, whose name is Cutie Patoots (my 6 year old named her) and i've had her for quite some time now and we are definitely jelling. i started reading bits and pieces about how social they are so i decided to get her a pal. i went to petco and saw another loveball whom ive named sunshine, well my son says her full name is Happy Sunshine and shes about 7 months old. She's super fast and springy omygoodness and terrified of us, which i expect. I didnt know that I needed to adopt and everything in regards to that until AFTER i purchased her so please be kind here. Pretty please.
Now i know for the future. I also didn't know I should NOT have put them together and I did to play and I've been reading more and more and I am scared that I made a mistake due to her being from a pet store. (They were in a neutral setting i followed advice about their meeting point and all) I love them both so much but, I want them safe. And when they did play I noticed a lot of butt sniffing and they both did scratch their own faces a bit. Cutie is about 3 to 4 years old and had it rough in her prior family. Sunshine was alone when I got her but, I learned petco is the freaking WORST! I called a couple of vets but, they either don't help piggies or theyre super pricey! I just don't where to begin and I am so sorry about this long rant. I am reading so much and trying to honestly just be a great guinea pig mommy. If you could point me in any direction that would be great! It took me days to even find out how to post! lol
I know I was pretty ignorant prior to all this and I don't want anyone to throw any negativity. I just need to make sure that I am making proper choices after their first meeting a little while ago. theyre both chilling but im paranoid because I know now that i should have quarantined them longer after the fact. Thank you so much
I hope to hear from anyone soon. I will be adding pictures very soon.
