Well as long as you have a proper carrier or a box that they'll be able to have fresh water and food for the whole trip.
Many people on this forum do what's called a piggie train........ they'll get a rescue piggie from say north literally miles and miles down south to their new owner :)
Post a thread and ask some advice, i've only ever rescued piggies and had them in the car for about 1 - 1 1/2hrs....... i couldn't help with the water side of it, so i had cucumber, cos lettuce, canteloupe, but then carrots etc.. for them i had i think 9 piggies if i remember right, it was ages ago :{
You'd need to make sure about the temp of your car, and make sure the sun doesn't shine down on them........ cause you're in WA i'd be waiting for a cooler day, you've had horrendous temps for ages :{

I am very sorry for your loss. :(

Before getting two new additions I would have a chat with your parents about the potential vet bills as you had mentioned in a previous post that your parents couldn't afford the 140 dollars. When I was considering getting my two I had to really think about what would happen if one, or even both of them, got ill and needed expensive medical care. Luckily for me I don't have to rely on my parents but what I am doing is putting money aside every month that will help with any potential costs. Perhaps you could do the same? Or maybe work out some deal with your parents that they could do something similar in exchange for you doing something for them? Preperation is definitely key here, especially when vet bills can amount to a lot of money very quickly and it's not easy to unexpectedly have to find extra cash (I don't know what it's like where you are, but there doesn't seem to be many companies in the UK offering decent insurance for guinea pigs).

RIP Ace xx
 
well nevermind now were getting a 5 month old golden boar. I'm trying to get my parents into getting him a friend...but petshop is only place we could..
 
Yes well my parents are majopr animals lovers and i know they will pay as much as they can to help them and i think it will be enough. I am having a 5 month old and 10 week old males delivered by a breeder in 2 weeks. The 5month old and 10 week old will meet on this wednesday tso be happy with eachother when they get here. P.S theyres sre to be lots of pics!
 
Picked our girls up today and already beginning to tell their personalitys. They have spent most the day hiding.
 
THey will do that for the next few days or so just let them do theyre own thing besides feeding them vegies. I know * want to cuddle them but they will be very stressed at the moment.
 
Well I'm getting the 2 boys in 2 weeks (CC and Fudge) when i get them i will post lots of pics! Now I'm thinking of starting a guinea pig you tube channel. but all the other guinea pig channels are girls..would it be girlie to start one or should i start a guinea pig care channel? Thanks guys.
