You can use <a href="http://cavysavvy.blogspot.com/2012/01/fleece-bedding-for-guinea-pigs.html" rel="nofollow">fleece bedding</a> instead of disposal bedding like Carefresh. Also, you can buy large amounts of hay in bulk (for example, through <a href="http://shop.smallpetselect.com/?AffId=6" rel="nofollow">Small Pet Select</a>), which is more cost-efficient than buying small bags at the pet store.Lola, Buffy, and Broccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184277366545421212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-24975989586394732822013-07-12T02:51:34.687-04:002013-07-12T02:51:34.687-04:00$30 a WEEK???

One possible (although unlikely) exception is the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/healthypets/lcmv_rodents.htm" rel="nofollow">lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)</a>, which "can be transmitted to humans by rodents, including... on occasion, guinea pigs." LCMV infections are <i>very rare</i> from what we've read, so try not to worry too much unless you start seeing symptoms.

Do they get along right away or will they fight? I want to get another piggy but am worried they will not get along. Also our piggy isn't very vocal?

We are actually considering switching to hay from Kleenmama (http://www.kmshayloft.com/) because it's fresher and cheaper in bulk. Once we receive our first order, we will post a review :)Lola, Buffy, and Broccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184277366545421212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-32544307460581764742011-05-28T16:27:54.362-04:002011-05-28T16:27:54.362-04:00I get hay from a farm in my state, and it's MU...I get hay from a farm in my state, and it's MUCH cheaper and higher quality this way. Highly recommend it if your location enables you to.I got 5 pounds of Timothy for 7 bucks, and I don't have to deal with those annoying dust particles. I swear, the last store brand timothy hay I got had at least 3 good handfuls of small particles at the bottom of the bag!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204388991747736186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-78594672106767760352011-05-09T14:30:32.071-04:002011-05-09T14:30:32.071-04:00Haha!

Only at meal times i.e. the morning and in the afternoon when we get home so we don't get woken up or anything :S. They like hay that's for sure but they don't seem to wheek about it. For them its all about the kale and carrots! We change our bedding 2 or 3 times a week too because it gets smelly. Agree with many of your points, especially on how long they live for. Going on holiday will be a nightmare for you so you'd better be sure you love your piggies and find them a nice foster parent for the time you're away (not just any old person as some people think!).Meemohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419571616796884314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-17343224278659372832011-04-10T09:53:12.087-04:002011-04-10T09:53:12.087-04:00Thank you, Jason!Thank you, Jason!Lola, Buffy, and Broccolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13184277366545421212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013085805224098181.post-87034727867029495232011-04-10T09:10:04.786-04:002011-04-10T09:10:04.786-04:00nice blog entry.... keep it up... :)
