My 8 sister and I both have been wanting a guinea pig for the longest time. Finally, my mom has agreed to let us get 2 (I’ve been reading about them and found it’s best to have 2) guinea pigs, but my dads still not very sure of the idea. He knows we’ll take care of them, since I am 13 going on 14 and my sister is getting to the age where he thinks she can be quite responsible, but he isn’t a fan of "rats" as he calls them. Is there any way I can help convince him to let us get the pigs?
Also, I’ve noticed online that many of their supplies are cheap. The guinea pigs we want are per guinea pig. I’m pretty sure they come with a pet store cage, but do we need a different and larger cage? Also, about how much (after all the supplies) do you think the cost will come to? And finally, what supplies exactly do we need?
I am planning on buying a book once my dad gives us the ok, but until then I’d like to know a few things.
Thanks everyone!
Ok, I won’t get one from a petstore. There is a rescue center about an hour away. Would you say that’s a good place to get one? Its called Texas Rustlers Guinea Pig Rescue.
My dad is still thinking about it, and I hope I can convince him.
