Hello, I?ve been trying to convince my parents to let me get some guinea pigs for the past 2 weeks. The problem is, they?ll allow me to get only 1 piggie, not 2. My local humane society is selling a lovely pair of female pigs that I really want :sad: I was so desperate I started to think about buying one from a Petco or Petsmart. I?ve seen tons of horror stories about dying animals and animals causing humans to have sicknesses from Petco/Petsmart. Part of me thinks that buying a pet store guinea pig would be saving its life,but the other part of me thinks that if I buy the guinea pig, it?ll be like i?m supporting the absolutely horrible treatment that the animals get at the mills in which pet stores buy from. I guess my questions are 1) Where should I get my piggie/s? and 2) How do I convince my parents to let me get two? Thanks to anyone who can help.
