I went to our local Petco's grand re-opening today because they had a big sale. Part of the remodeling was to put huge pictures of animals around the upper walls. The picture of the guinea pig is of a piggy with a child who's giving it a bite of his ice cream bar!! Sigh. This is the same store that didn't understand why I didn't want the 10 gallon aquarium for my piggy Quinn when I adopted her there. They give you whatever the animal was brought in with by its previous owner and couldn't see why I didn't want her "cage," despite my explaining why it wasn't suitable and that I was taking her to a proper home. I asked, and thankfully they're still taking in/adopting out unwanted piggies now that they've re-opened.
At least I did get to educate someone; she was looking for ferret food and overheard that we were looking for guinea pig food. She said, "Here's some," and pointed to a bag with all the dried corn and seeds and "marshmallow" bits. I quickly educated her on why plain timothy-based pellets are best.
The piggy eating the ice cream bar, though...seriously...SMH.
