I searched on the 'net and found this site where you can rescue a guinea pig that has been given up by its previous owners. I then came across a woman selling her two guinea pigs locally so we adopted the pair... a pair of males.
I do most of the caring of the animals, of course, but it has been so lovely. In the past fortnight B has raced out, changed into his guinea pig clothes and cuddled his two little pets, Simba and Narla. He chose those names. Simba has a particularly bushy mane and they are the most attractive guinea pigs I've ever met!
Little P (18 months) has taken the guinea pigs a container of carrot and can say "pig!"
I took this photo the other day. I came out into our sun room to find B reading to his mates. We had a discussion afterwards about how pets prefer space but how lovely it was to see them reading together!
