[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 51495, member: 211"] Hi all, We got Aly an adorable, long haired, black and white baby Guinea Pig she named Oreo, for her 10th B'day. She is 9 months old and been hand raised and is very used to being cuddled, brushed, and handled. I have grown up with Hampsters, Pigeons, Doves, all sorts of dogs, cats, bunnies, fresh and salt water fish and a few Hermit Crabs, but never raised a Guinea before. Any advise would be wonderful. So far, she love her cage, her hutch, her food, her toys, but LOVES being outside her cage, preferrably being held close and getting her tummy rubbed. She is not too brave yet, won't move around much on the floor, just wants to be snuggled. We plan on getting her one of those ball things they like to run around in, to keep her safe from getting under furniture, or God forbid, one of the cats getting a hold of her. So far we are just keeping her in Aly's room and Aly LOVES knowing she is near by, just in case Oreo needs her, LOL!! husband was beyond amazed, as I do NOT do RODENTS of any sort, usually. But this little gal has hair that drags the ground, she looks like a little mop with legs! She has such a cute personality, isn't "rodent" like at all. Anyways, any info anyone might have to make this a successful home for Oreo would be great! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
