I'm here to share my story, but actually it starts before I even come into the picture. My guardian, who says you can call her Dash, saw a really cute pig in a pet store many years ago, and decided to look into guinea pigs a little more. She found this site that night, and has been lurking around ever since.
She learned all about caring for piggies, and the fun they can have, and it became a small dream of hers to bond with some. Her mom however never really got a good vibe from guinea pigs, and didn't really feel they were the right pet for them. So in order to have a chance with cavies, a tough deal was struck. Rooms would be cleaned, and responsibility would have to be shown.
The end result was this: Only one young guinea pig would be adopted at first. Dash would have a month to see if she could care for it, keep it from getting lonely without a partner, and most importantly if they could fit together. If not, they would find the piggly a new home more suitable to its needs.
This is the good part: where I come in!
I was brought into Dash's room yesterday, on the 23rd. I have a nice big 2x5 C&C cage, which seems like my own room with how small I am right now! I have some hidey spots, lots of running room, and the snacks aren't bad here. I'm also told more toys will be on their way soon.
This Dash human isn't too bad either. She's a little awkward, but I don't mind her petting me at all. I think I like it here. On my first night I couldn't stop running around and popcorning!
But I'm still just a young piggly and I don't really know what it's like in the world! I know this is only a first glimpse, and I'll get into more detail later - especially about my snacks - but does this place look decent? Do you think I could do better?
Dash could probably use any tips you might have and such, but I think together we can both learn what the other species is all about. I hope that in a month, we can go to her mom together, and we won't have to say "pretty please with a Cherri on top?"
