Hi, I'm new here. My husband and I adopted two loveable guinea pigs. Harmony is 3 1/2 years old and the mother of Melody 1 1/2 years old. We adopted them last October, 2011, from a student who couldn't look after them any more. They have had other owners as well but we're their last owner that's for sure as we just love them. We also re-named them Harmony and Melody as my husband and I are musicians.
