frassysassy1 - My Little Piggies

I adopted Lucy when she was 5 weeks old, she was So small, fitting in the palm of my hand. She was scared, all alone, in her cage at the pet store.

I wasn't planning on owning a guinea pig but she looked so sad, I wanted to give her the attention and Love she obviously wasn't getting from the pet store.

I purchased everything I would need to care for her and brought her home. Lucy was still sad though, I couldn't make her happy and she wasn't eating. Worried, I did some research and found guinea pigs are a herding animal from the beaver family (hence the never ending growing teeth.) Lucy needed a companion!

It took some time to find another female guinea pig (males & females breed babies fast!) When I found Sally, Lucy was almost 3 mo. old, getting used to me, eating a little but still very sad. As soon as I put Sally in the cage, Lucy perked up, hopping all over her cage ( pop corning) while making little squeaking noises! Lucy was Happy! Listen to what guinea pigs sound like here!

For the first time since I adopted Lucy, she started to eat her veggies! Sally adapted very well from the start having Lucy as her new sister.

Both girls enjoy going outside to eat grass when the weather permits and I have since purchased a ferret cage (ferret nation) to give them more room to romp!

Guinea Pigs are such delightful little animals to own and Love. I'm So glad I adopted them!

The girls will be 3 yr. old come March & April of 09.
