Hello! My family and I adopted a beautiful tri-color male guinea pig (I think he is an Abyssinian due to his rosette hair growth pattern). I had guinea pigs for a time as a kid, but it's been many years, so we are new to owning guinea pigs for all practical purposes.
I see there have been a lot of changes in the acceptable standards for guinea pig care since I last owned one, and I now know that the cage I bought at the pet store is not adequate. We are playing with Pebbles a lot and giving him a lot of extra floor time while we shop for a more appropriate habitat for him.
I am reading through the posts about habitats, fleece and other types of bedding, etc. in order to learn the most efficient way of keeping his habitat clean and sanitary. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions as well, and I'm looking forward to participating in the forums.
