Senior Guinea Pig
I have 9. I have 6 girls in one huge cage and 3 sharing a cage with a divider down the middle. 2 girls on one side and a recently neutered boar on the other side waiting to live with the girls.
No one will believe me but I have 61 piggies ! No I do not breed but as explained before ,vet missexed a baby and I left him in with 14 girls result lots of babies I have kept nearly all of them except 8 boys and two girls who have gone to live with people that I know .They live together girls and neutered boys in one group and un neutered boys in another . They live in my large conservatory in winter and outside in a 20foot x 12 foot friu t cage with a shed at each end one for each group . They cost me a small fortune to feed ,vets bills etc. ,but I love them all They keep me very busy .Think of the number of nails to be cut and baths to do .By the way I am now very good at sexing piggies and am slowly having the boys neutered as and when I can afford it .Watching them interact with each other is amazing and better than the telly!
What did your vet say about his HUGE mistake?
