Teenage Guinea Pig
I went to the burgess small animal pet show today with my mum and dad and had a good day cuddling rabbits and guineas, buying various treats etc. and getting alot of good advice, then over the speaker a man said the guinea pig auction would be starting in the showing corner so naturally i went along to have a look
My mum thought as i only had £8 i wouldnt be able to get a guinea and my dad said i could only bid the money i had. It wasnt nice the way the breeders were examining each guinea as if it was just stock to be used, and i was so desperate to save atleast one of the girls and give it the home it deserved rather than being bred from time and time again!
I bid on a few but they were getting sold at around £50 each so i didnt have a chance until two gorgeous tiny baby girls came up and noone wanted them so i put in my £8 bid and hoped for the best! A man outbid me and I thought it was over until members of the public watching started offering me money so that I could outbid him! Event the auctioneer offered to pay upto £15 for me! I didnt accept the money as i just couldnt! The breeder won and then he offered to let me have one of the baby girls!
My mum was so shocked when i ran upto her to tell her id been given a guinea pig! I've named her Kiara and shes so gorgeous! I'll put pics up once shes settled!
