My Guinea Pig

Sat Oct 01, 2005 9:22 pm

Well... I ended up getting a Guinea Pig.
And i'd have photos too if my camera and my computer weren't disagreeing.
Anywho.
She's really quite sweet. She was raised by little kids so she's quite hand friendly. But totally freaked out right now. (My rooms not THAT messy... but apparently she disagrees). She's in a 30 x 45 inch cage (made via the cavycages.com site) and she's really quite awesome. She's hiding in his box right now. But she was in the little pant leg type thing in there for him for awhile; then he scurried for a bit... and now she's in hiding.
Yes. Hiding. She's cute. I'll get pictures some day... when my computer isn't disagreeable, but he's black/tan and really soft, and quite sweet.
Her name is Sushi. And she is... simply awesome.
And i'd like to thank everyone who helped me decide on getting a guinea pig. I'm quite happy.

YAY! Photos coming soon.

I remember my friends guinea pigs, two of them managed to degrass their enormous lawn XD

Awww, yay!

I want to see pictures of this cute thing. :)

Sushi eh? Awesome, show us pictures! Maybe put a piece of sushi beside it. :D

(But I could've sworn when I originally clicked the topic, it said you named it Fugu after a poisonous fish or something, and that Sushi here was the smallest guinea pig in the store...

Am I seeing things? O_o)

I swear, I saw the same thing. I think she said she named it "Fugu" to raise its ego.

As for the description, it sounds really cute. Do post pictures quick!

Sushi. Warning: if it's shrimp sushi, I might eat your new pet.

I wanna see pictures too, Inrun!

I'm a little confused ... is this thing a she or a he, 'cause you say both in your post :P

Congrats on getting one though, they're lovely pets :)

*cringe*
ok.
So she was mis-sexed by the petstore. And my room mate (petstore queen extraodrinare) resexed her...

Hence the very quick name change. Darnit! I thought i'd gotten it before anyone would've read the thread. Darnit.
Oh well. Sushis adorable. I should draw her. I sense guinea pig inspiration over this. Sushi is indeed a girl.
oddly named after a cat, who was named after the food...

Sorry for the confusion.
She's currently sitting in my lap talking to me begging me for another tiny bit of carrot. Which she won't get. No fat guineas for me!

I think she'd like die if I hugged her. And I avoid kissing my animals. It's just this weird thing... I don't like it.

*shrugs*
But thanks. She's a cutie.

Nifty, I got one around 2 weeks ago. :P

And he's still scared, but not as much as before. o.0;
