Hello!! I am new to this forum, and so far am enjoying the reads, and exploring the site. My name is Brigitte, and I am going to soon be a new owner to a pair of guinea pigs. I am completely new to piggies, and am hoping to educate myself more on being an owner, and finding out as much information as I can. My one daughter just turned 12, and for her birthday wanted a pet, a pet she can help to take care of, and be part of her 4-H experience. We discussed what would be the perfect pet for her and our family. We agreed a guinea pig would be ideal, and we are very interested in rescuing a pair. I started my search by putting in "guinea pig rescue Maryland" and a few organizations came up. I saw one that looked "professional", organized, and a few pairs of piggies that were for adoption. I filled out the application on the 4th, and am patiently awaiting to hear something. The site said it could be up to two weeks. My daughter saw a pair she liked, and I emailed to inquire about the pair, still waiting I am wondering if the adoption process is too strict for my liking, but maybe because I am over excited. In the meantime I am patiently waiting, looking a videos of pigs, reading websites, understanding the diets, etc. I hope to be able to meet some friends, pig owners, and everything else..
Hope to hear from you all.
Brigitte
