I think that it's funny how pet store owners think that they know more than you do. I made the bad decision to adopt from a pet store (ironically they made me sign adoption papers to take my girls home). I was in the store to buy food. She asked me, how my piggy girls were (thought it was sweet that she remembered me). I showed her a picture of them. And told her what was up. And how I was going to take her to a vet. Considering how I talked to a friend (that I just made) after I got my girls. And they ended up telling me that they thought she had mites. The pet shop lady acted like she knew more than I did, "oh no that's not mites that's ringworm". I could see if she had training or specialized only in guinea pigs. But the store was too crowded with supplies. And it was the very lady that assured me that no males were around them. Or even in the store. Let alone denied the guinea pig death statistics during pregnancy/labor . Wow! I have had guinea pigs before. And that was the second time I bought from that store. My first piggies I had since my other 2 died in a fire over 8 years ago (had a hard time getting over their deaths and a friend of a friend offered to give me one a week after they died but it was too soon for me). I mourned their deaths like a member of the family.
