    My guinea pigs favorite thing in the world is "fill in the blank*

    My guinea pigs favorite thing in the world is screaming as soon as I try to talk on the phone with my grandmother (literally ONLY her. I call my mom nightly too and they don't scream about her), who luckily is an animal person and thinks them doing it is a hoot

    Chat Do you ever read to your guinea pigs?

    I don't anymore, but when I was learning English my guinea pig and dog and i would sit on my bed and I'd read to them (I'd also practice saying naughty words with them lmao)

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    Thank you for saying that! We're thinking of taking them to the vet program down at ole Miss in a week or two just to make sure all of our girls are healthy and to scope out some of the instructors opinions on local(ish) vets. Hopefully they can even point us to a shelter or rescue

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    We called it vet registered nursing, but I'm pretty sure its the same thing. I stopped working in it a short while ago because the animal death was taking a toll on my mentak health, especially because with the area I was living in there was alot of really disgusting people doing disgusting...

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    Generally I can treat those things myself in a pinch because of my experience in the field. I'm still working with people over on guinea lynx to figure out what's up with the veterinary situation because I obviously would rather take them to someone with full tools and access to more...

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    And what I meant by theres no vet I would trust to put a guinea pig through surgery I meant it as I wouldn't trust any vet for that. Unless there's a need that would cause the pig to die otherwise I wouldn't have it put through surgery

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    If there was a need for surgery I'd have to schedule it and wouldn't be getting them in immediately anyway, so in that wait time I could travel the 4 hours to the nearest useful vet

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    So its not like any guinea pig thatll be coming through a shelter or rescue here would be receiving any different medical care because the rescues have access to the same exact vets as us. Atleast I have some experience working as an exotic veterinary nurse, so I know how to identify things in a...

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    Right now there's no viable options for vet care because there's no local vets - the local vet who declared himself as a cavy king and had rave reviews possibly caused one of my guinea pigs to die, the only other two I'm being told not to go to because they're bad despite being on the guinea...

    As if right now, were not totally sure on that.

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    There's no vet around here that I would trust to put a guinea pig through surgery. We've been looking at all shelters and everything. We thought we hit the jackpot a little bit ago because there was a bonded pair of females listed at the shelter were going to be by today, and when we called...

    I just did pretty much the opposite move. I was in new Jersey and it was really easy to find rescues. Now that I moved to Mississippi its like finding a needle in a hay stack.

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    Even pet stores around here don't have many guinea pigs. Usually if they have 3 at a time its a shock. Which is good because less breeding being done but its just so weird

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    We're currently on a 'wait list' for all four shelters within a reasonable distance for them to give us a call if they get in a girl or neutered boy. Eventually, when were closer to being ready to bring more in, well start calling around to further away rescues to see if theyre willing to meet...

    Anyone else have NO guinea pigs in their area to adopt?

    Last month we were hunting around for morw Guinea pigs to bring into the family. We looked through pet finder, guinea pig finder, Craigslist, and the guinea lynx rescue list. The closest ones to us were 3 hours away. We've started looking again because we're hoping to bring a few new in next...

    What other pets do you have?

    As of right now only my guinea pigs (Caterina, Misty, and Erza) live with me. We had a fourth (Bayonetta) who we just lost yesterday. Still living with my parents is an american bulldog (Mugz, who I wasn't allowed to take because shes the family dog but totally liked me best) and my rabbit...
