We put her in quarantine until we new for sure she didn't have any mites, fleas, ringworm or a cold. The people we purchased her from, well, lets just say they weren't the cleanest with her. Took me an hour to clean the feces from the bottom of the cage. :( Makes me happy we adopted her.
Well, I decided to do some research about putting Meg and Pig together to play. Let just say, I should have done this research BEFORE we got Meg! OMGosh! Did you know that a sow (female guinea pig) goes into heat every 2-3 weeks? Their heat cycles are 16 days and they are able to start breeding at 3 weeks of age?
WHAT THE HELL did I get myself into?
I decided that I would introduce Meg and Pig one morning to each other as I don't want them not to know each other. This was the reason we adopted her. (Mind you, she is approx. 5 months old and Pig is around 8-10 weeks old) Well lets just say they got friendly with each other real quick like!! I had to pull Pig off her within 30 seconds of meeting!
I was laughing so hard I though I was going to pass out. Yes, I know to most of you this probably isn't funny, but if you could have seen it... It was stinking hilarious!
I told Kirk they CAN NOT be left alone together AT ALL!! Adult supervision required at ALL TIMES!! I told him we will need to see about getting one of them fixed so that we don't have any baby piglets. I called my animals normal vet and they do not preform this, so I called another vet that they recommended me to. They do neuter/spay guinea pigs. (YUS!!) Now the cost... $104! WHAT? These were supposed to be CHEAP PETS!! Guess it will be worth getting Pig "D-Nutted" so we don't have an oops!!
Here are a few pics of the new Meg. :)
