Re: Chi and Ai
Aww wow, I love them! I want a pair so bad...I have done my research over the last like, 5 months. My mom says, " I dont know Steph, its a whole nother ball game. We'll see" I took it as a yes! But im not ready. Not yet. I need to give myself time. Maybe in late march. Its hard bringing a new pet into your life so fast, but hard not too.

Re: Chi and Ai
Yeah they are different. Take up a good bit more room then hams too. My piggies are more cuddly then my hams though so i like that about them. Echo decided my fingers were tasty today and bit me 6 times. She was being all tricky about it too. She was doing the I want out of my cage things she does and reaching for my fingers then when i put my hand for her to get on it she would bite it instead every single time. Guinea pigs just sat there and let me hold and pet them so that was nice after being bitten. I adopted these piggies. A lady said she couldn`t have them in her apartment anymore due to landlord issues but they clearly weren`t being properly cared for the cage I got them in proved that. Way to small and so dirty it was starting to mold, so I am happy I took them. Took a lot of patience to get them to trust me and they still freak out sometimes about getting picked up (i mean FREAK out not like the normal i don`t want to reaction) but overall they are doing so much better now. My new ones of course are just mellow and happy. i haven`t tried housing them together but i`m still getting mixed results during joint play time so for now they are in different cages in pairs.

I've always loved that about Guinea pigs, as well (that they're more cuddly than gerbils and hammies). But they definitely do take up more space. Sadly, that's why I can't have a pair right now. Echo sounds like she has a lot of personality! It really is sad, though, how so many people keep guinea pigs. They're such wonderful pets, but I'm always seeing them in such tiny, poorly cleaned cages. I'm glad your guinea pigs found a home that is obviously good and an owner that obviously cares for them.

Re: Chi and Ai
I'm allergic to pigs... Don't know why. I have rats, rabbits, hammies, and dogs, but I can't have pigs.

Re: Chi and Ai
sorry to hear that you are allergic. So far the fleece is doing well, now that i`ve changed to stronger clips that they can`t pull off. I've bought more padding for underneath the fleece so that when the cages are dirty it is faster to change them. I should be set up for quite awhile. if not i will be somewhat disappointed as the up front cost is a bit steep, even with the great sales. Here is hoping. if it does work well it will end up being much cheaper in the long run and i do love not having bedding all over the apartment all the time! that is a very nice benefit.
