The circumcision is not purelly cosmetic. It has the benefit of cleanness and not future possible infections because they are not taking care properly. Unless you spend 18 yrs remembering your kid to clean it and a lot of years doing it yourself. Good Luck trying to touch your 13 or 14 yrs old...

Go to walmart and ask for your money back! Insects in food doesn't sound good. You should check to get great quality pellets as it was stated before.

If you can get her, is great! The shelters usually don't know a lot about GPs. I have 2 girls and 1 neutered boy. Introductions are different for every piggie, some are easy and some are very hard. Ask for the piggie temperament and be ready on how to introduce them. Remember to quarentine...

If you leave your guinea pig there, they will take it to an unexperience vet. Never leave your piggei, if you don't know who is taking care of him/her. They can euthanize it and then give you a new one... The easy way out for them of course.

Welcome to the forum! I pretty much see 2 big mistakes. For starters I would have not go to the petstore to get my GPs. There is a huge overpopulation problem and I am sure that you could have give a great house for any 2 in a shelter (waiting to get euthanized for lack of adoptive parents)or...

I think that is a great answer! If she share her knowledge to the new owners there is no way those piggies are happy...

I haven't read the responses sorry if I repeat, just breath and take it easy... Most people make a lot of mistakes and then fixed them, one by one. It took me several months to buy the grids for the C&C cage. Currently my hubby is without work and my income is not that great, but we just...
