Question: So I just got a guinea pig yesterday, at the pet store and I did not know that you can rescue guinea pigs at the shelter. The nearest one has only dogs and cats, I think. I have just now relized the harm pet stores have been doing to the animals, so what can I do to help my guinea pig feel happy and comfortable? And how do I not make that mistake again? Priscilla, my piggy is solo, and I am thinking of getting her a buddy.
