Howdy!!

I adopted my first guinea pig a couple of months ago. I got him from an ad on Craigslist. His previous owner didn't know his sex, age, and they hadn't even named the poor critter. Supposedly he was used to being handled by children, but this doesn't seem to be true.

He is a really big piggie. After I found out he was a he, I named him Roy (after the Astro's pitcher, Roy Oswalt). He is addictive. I am also a mom to three boys, a cat (Oscar), a hamster (Bubba), and a guppy (Cleetus).

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for taking in poor little (big) Roy.

Please look into getting Roy a same sex or spayed female friend. They really are social animals and love company of their own species. Most likely you will be able to find a good candidate listed here in the classifieds.
