Hello Benjamin! He's a little sweetie! I like his name too. Is he getting on OK with Minty and Garry?
Benjamin!

They seem to be doing OK. Minty is still a bit stroppy sometimes but he's not nasty, just putting Benjamin in his place! It's going better than I thought it would to be honest...touch wood! :smitten:

lol you said about your dad!
(my mum has said no to me having a guinea pig since i was 9 years old...i'm 19 now)
i left school last year and got a well paid job, and decided to ask my mum if i could have a mouse...she said yes. 0
i went out and got given a large indoor guinea pig house! brought it home and hid it in the shed! then went out and got hay and wood chippings etc not the bowls and things....then told her my brilliant plan!
then on sept 5th took her to a pet store near my work- bearing in mind i'd done all this piggy research and things could answer pretty much all of her questions, she fell in love with some at that pet store but was sadened by the fact they just all stood at the front of the cage begging to go home...anyway decided to go to sea pets and have a nose...got there and it was a ball of hay and some food. we stood there for ages watching the now "quivering" ball of hay, finally decided to ask to see what was inside...and out comes i might add being dragged out because he was running around so much xavier with his messy fur and his tale of no one wanting him so he was an orphan. well he came home with me that night.
now i've got "the boys" mum is begging me to let her hold one...i have to keep saying no cuz i want them to be relaxed and used to like my voice and things first.
she completed the perfect picture yesterday when she came home with handfulls of dandilion leaves for them and said..."i wish i had let you get guinea pigs when you were little"
i'm a happy lass now!

Good for you! I cannot physically go into the petshop now because I know I can't have any more...still, when I get myself sorted into my own space, that could become a different story! ;D :smitten:
