I want guinea pigs so bad, I don't think i've wanted anything more in my entire life than I want 2 piggies. But my parents aren't on board. I've done the research, i'm paying for everything except for vet bills. But my parents said that they dont want guinea pigs making a bunch of noise and keeping them up at night. My dad said it's pretty much a crap shoot and we could get stuck with really noisy guinea pigs or we could luck out and get quiet ones. And my parents said that if they end up making noise and keeping them up that they're not going to want them in the house anymore and we don't have a basement or anywhere else to put them. So they would have to then turn the guinea pigs over to a shelter. We don't have the best track record with pets such as rabbits and dogs as they have all had some sort of issue and we have had to turn them over to the shelter except for one that was sick and had to be put down. So my parents dont want to send another pet to the shelter because it doesn't work out. And my parents said that if the pigs get sick it falls on them to pay for the vet bills. I got a second dog a couple years ago that worked out and my parents say I should be grateful the dog i have worked out. And I am, but I really really really want piggies. Dogs just aren't the same as piggies and I have hope that piggies could work out. I do understand where my parents are coming from so dont assume I'm being a whiny brat. I just really love guinea pigs.
