I think I got mine from a breeder who passed her self of as a rescue! One of them had pneumonia and had to be PTS. I only found out via another rescue.Hi @Chief Guinea Pig yes this topic is allowed, as it's nice sometimes to get things off your chest, although what isn't allowed is any personal jibes against any member, as like you we are a friendly lot...
Ours are not knowing where you will find your next bit of hay, usually in your socks or underwear..
Breeders passing themselves off as rescues as it's difficult enough for the reputable ones..
( that's why we have the rescue locator )
Always manage to stand on that stray nugget in your bare feet..
Lisa & Ali..
(For reference to anyone who didn't know, both of my girls were pregnant when I bought them, umbeknownst to myself. Thor is one of the first brood!)
Mine is being told "It's only a guinea pig..." or being the butt end of jokes about "disposing" of them when I ended with 8 surprise babies
@Jess that's exactly what I get too! I have shouted at people in the past but now I just walk off and let them carry on talking to themselves before I say something that would get me in trouble
oh and another thing I dislike is when I see other peoples piggys and see the state of some of their cages the poor pigs are literally sleeping in their own poo and wee ridden bedding, tons of flies buzzing round them, they stink to high heaven and the pigs dont look to pleased either. I clean my pigs out everyday, not the whole bedding just the poo/wet stuff and food that is old, then I usually take the whole bedding out at the end of the week haha but yes that's what frustrates me the most, disgusting cages!

Yes, being a typical human, I found this forum after I had adopted. Like reading the instructions after you have failed to put the flat pack together.
(guinea pig ones I hasten to add!)
