Hi..
Just needed to vent! today I went to try to find hay. It is very difficult to find Hay here where I live. I went to several places, and I can't believe what some people told me.
I went to one place where they had some guinea pigs outside.
When I asked if they had hay and they asked me how many piggies I had and I said two, they looked at me as if I were crazy. And the worst thing is that they told me that guinea pigs should eat *only* pellets, that veggies are bad for them!!! I said Oh Well, and just left. It is unbelievable that he can say that veggies are bad for guinea pigs and that they should eat pellets alone. I feel sad for the guinea pigs he had there, if they have this diet...and the people who'll buy there and receive this advice!! When he asked me what I fed them and I told him about the vegetables, he said that it was wrong of me.
I just left.
Then in another store, the guy there didn't know what hay was!! and then he told me that guinea pigs should only eat rabbit pellets.
This store also had guinea pigs outside for sale.
The bad thing is that they are confusing...I went with my boyfriend, and he does believe me, but these kind of things make him doubt about the right thing to do. Fortunately he hears me and believes me and I'm in charge of our piggies care, but it enrages me that these people can give that kind of advice just like that.
Just needed to vent here...
Thanks for listening
