Later on today i will be getting a guinea pig. Can't wait!! I will post pictures when he comes. But, I haven't had guinea pigs in a while. I forgot what kind of vegetables are good for them. Does anyone know of a good site with guinea pig information?

:D guinea piggies are sooo cute! You'll definitely have to post pictures!
As to veggies, all I know is they like fresh cut veggies every day. The one I looked after once had a selection of carrots, apple, peppers and celery I think. He also got some kind of dried treat which he really liked.

I remember parsley, bell peppers, carrots, cucumber, kale, and spinach. I know there's more that they can have but I don't remember all of it. It's been a little while since I've had Guinea Pigs.

I know he looks so big. I've had guinea pigs in the past and they were always on the smaller side.
He's adorable!!!
I know I completely melted when I saw those pictures

adorable is right!

I miss my guinea pig. I would get another, but I am allergic! My face would break out in hives and itch! I was even allergic back then, but my mom didn't have the heart to take her from me!

He's HERE!!!! He's in his cage in my bedroom right now. I'm waiting the recommended 24 hours before introducing him to the cats and well to me. I'll try to get pictures later when he is not hiding.

Well I started the introductions. Last night I was holding each cat up by the cage and they were all smelling him through the bars. 

A few minutes ago I was holding him out in the living room and the cats were coming up to see him. Phoenix is afraid of him, Rose seems to think he's another toy of hers. lol. Tinkerbell was rudely interrupted (as per usual) by Rose. Rose gets jealous of Tinkerbell when she's on me. But I was Tink's cuddles first. Go figure! 
 Mischief on the other hand loved him. And I mean REALLY loved him. 
. Had to push her away from a couple times because  he was trying to tuck himself under my arm. So far so good. Haven't tried pictures yet. But going to soon. I only now thought of pictures through the cage. DUH!
