Adopting Finally convinced my mom!!!

That's awesome! When I have the money and space for another pig I will be adopting. I can never seem to find any guinea pigs in need of rescue near me, though. One will come up eventually I suppose. Congrats!

Congrats! Being a guinea pig parent is an awesome thing. I know waiting can suck, but if you're going to be gone for a while this summer it may be a good thing that your mom is having you wait. It's hard to find a pig sitter who knows what they're doing! Look on Craigslist when you get back, there always seem to be plenty of piggies on there that need a good home because someone lost interest.

That's great @Lizzieball12 is right waiting dose suck but if you are going somewhere for a while you are better off waiting then coming home and your piggies aren't in tip top shape.
I hope all goes well and when you get them we see some pigtures of them.

oh that is exciting! I know it seems like forever to wait but you can use the time to get ready for them! Saving up for the cage and collecting C&C grids and fleece (or whatever you want to use) takes lots of time especially if you are trying to do it cheaply by catching sales. If you get fleece it will have to be broken in as well and you could get yourself uhaul pad if you wanted and make liners. You can also take this time to research them and find any shelters in your area but I wouldn't look on craigslist yet... you may fall in love with some that you see it might drive you crazy. haha. So yea.. there is plenty to do in preparation for the pigs to make the time fly. I am excited for you!

pigger123, I know how difficult the wait is; due to lack of funds I won't be able to get my piggies until later this Fall and it is driving me crazy! Until then I just come on here or visit the pet store piggies. I am just trying to appreciate the time I have until I get them because all of the research and obsessively perusing the Internet will make me that much better of a mom. I even have a countdown on my phone! Anyway, good luck on your journey and keep us updated!

Trust me, waiting is worth it. In the mean time, save up money for supplies, research, and learn as much as you can.

agreed but make sure that you don't get it from a breeder ( obviously )

Congrats! I agree with @PiggieWigglies. It took me a year to convince my parents, and I had to wait another 6 months to get my piggie! The wait is TOTALLY worth it. Being a piggie parent is amazing. Post pigtures as soon as you get them!

Congratulations, trust me the right pair will come along
