Hi all
Boyfriend & I have recently decided we would like to have our own guinea pig. I've ALWAYS wanted one, but with a dog in my house and a mom who wants nothing to do with them besides in the basement, we decided boyfriend's house would be best. He is 30 seconds away from me, so it is not a problem.
I have recently been trying to "adopt" one around me, but no luck. As a matter a fact, I thought I had one in my hands, but their Craigslist was flagged when I went to go check up on them again. What a shame.
However I went to PetSmart today, and I *know* many of you do not approve of such a place. But when I want, a cute little black coated piggy caught my eye, happily walking around, chewing, and staring at me so happy he had my attention. It was funny too, because when I walked around the store and came back for 5 minutes, he was laying in his little igloo. He definitely had my heart, and quite honestly, I want to bring him home SO bad!
I know I have to watch out for a few signs. I have yet to put my C&C cage together, before I bring him home. However I may request to put him on "hold". Would they do that? Also, will they let me hold the guinea pig? I'd appreciate many tips, since I may end up choosing the one in PetSmart.. but please don't flame me! :sorry:
