Hi everyone! New cavy owner here!

Hi all!

Just found this website today =) My family and I are new cavy owners, we just GusGus a week ago. Any tips or fun things to share? Thanks a million!

Read the articles on the Home page of this site, and at Guinea Pig Education, Care, Rescue and Adoption at Cavy Spirit. Also read the stickies at the top of the Diet and Nutrition and Bedding forums. And then just read around on these forums for more information.

Welcome to the forum, and we'd love to see some pictures of GusGus.

P.S. If you got him from a pet store, double check and make sure he's a male. See Sexing Guinea Pigs: How to Sex a Guinea Pig for pictures to check against. Pet stores are notorious for mis-sexing guinea pigs -- we've had three males on here give birth just since Christmas!
