Here are some facts about the guinea pig that I learned:
CostWhen you first get your pet, you’ll need to spend about $35 for a cage. Food runs about $75 a year, plus $25 annually for toys and treats, $50 for an annual veterinary check-up and $400 per year for litter and bedding material. We recommend getting your guinea pig from a responsible breeder or, even better, adopting one from a shelter or small-animal rescue group.
Housing Guinea pigs are social animals who prefer to live in small groups. If you keep two or more females together, they will become great friends. If you want two males, it’s smart to choose two babies from the same litter. Since guinea pigs, like all rodents, multiply rapidly, keeping males and females together is not recommended.

Hey Bryce. Yoy did a great job finding out about guinea pigs. I never knew how cool they were until we got to know Ralph at Kellye's house. He was really cool. I hope you get to have one some day.

Hey Bryce....what are you guys running over there? a zoo? with your new kitty and dog. I can't wait to meet them. You may have to put the guinea pig on hold for awhile. Nice post..you are getting so grown up. Don't forget you are my VERY favorite almost 11 year old boy in the whole world.
