Junior Guinea Pig
hi everyone i often read forums etc but never tend to join them but as i am a new guinea pig owner i thought id join this as i may have many questions lol.
i have always wanted to have a guinea pig but never got round to getting one, so out of the blue the other day i got a message from my step mum asking if id like guinea pigs so i asked how many and she replies three! well recently our old rabbit had passed away and we had one rabbit left so we said ok we will take them. We waited with anticipation and i got my partner to go and build an outdoor hut assuming we were getting larger guineas,so he threw together a large hutch next to my rabbits hutch then my dad turned up with an empty indoor cage, to my surprise they were hiding when they came out they were quite small, so we decided on keeping them indoors, so the rabbit has two huts (handy for cleaning).
Little back story i dont know their ages and had to figure out the sex myself three males one looks quite young as he is so small, anyway they were abandoned in a flat no one knows for how long, i wouldnt say more than three days considering their general body condition, but they havent been handled alot and are very skittish.
So one week in and i have learnt alot from the different noises to the foods they cant eat, you cant house them in a hutch thats not in a shed,you cant put them in with a rabbit in case it bullies it you cant you cant you cant lol alot of cants haha any way i thought id share my story with you guys as i said I'm very new to guinea pig owning but am totally in love with these wee guys and hope i continue learning and to gain the trust of spyro,hiccup and toothless lol
