Bingley
New Born Pup
We've just reserves a couple of very lovely baby boy guinea pigs (for my children but of course I'll be the main carer). One is a black sheltie and the other a crested satin roan. These will be their 1st pets and I really want the experience to be a positive one.
I'm taking our new pets very seriously (have bought a C&C system) and have been reading too... I'm quite concerned about the satin and the associated health problems. It would be heartbreaking to have a baby who won't live long/who may live in discomfort. I've raised these concerns with the seller we're getting them from who helpfully assured me that she has never had any problems with her own satins. Should I be concerned?
What is the likelihood that our satin will have problems? As well as so awful for the piggy, it would be very distressing for my daughter (it's her first pet). We've been offered a cream short haired instead but she is already fond of the satin. Any advice appreciated.
