I was looking through the ads again (i know i`m bad
) and found one for a male and female guinea pig housed together, female is pregnant and wanting a lot of money. I offered to take the female and told them they could sell the male with the supplies and mentioned that if the birth went wrong it could get very expensive. I'm not sure I will keep the guinea pig but I want to get it away from that person and make sure it has a fighting chance along with the babies. The cage they are selling with the piggies ( which they seem to be trying to sell all together to keep together) is not big enough for the two in there let alone babies. Fleece lining the cages is working wonderfully for me and is now quicker then bedding so I'm saving quite a bit right there. I think hubby is gonna want to kill me if they agree to let me take the piggy, but worst case scenario I have an extra cage already, can keep males if there are any in there, females I can try to temporarily keep with current piggies if i can socialize them- which we'll see and if not I can get another cage anyways (which will make my apartment tiny). Getting them homes might take a bit but this is a suburb so there are tons of families with kids and if I make sure everyone knows they need to be kept in pairs then very doable. I don't want them to have her anymore. poor piggy.
