Well I did it again and looked on the dreaded Craigs list. I saw a free Guinea pig and read the description AND they were about 30 minutes away, soooo long story short I picked up a HUGE male calico Guinea pig. I was worried that the free would bring out all the snake people so I grabbed him right up. Good thing because he would of made a very large snack for a slithery (ps I am not against feeding snakes live )He has to be the biggest one i have ever seen, he is on Rabbit pellets "because he went through the Guinea pig pellets too fast"!!!!! I am slowly transitioning him to regular GP food as well as supplimenting him with Vit C. He has a TRIPLE chin. His cage is the size of a hampsters cage, after QT he will be going into a LARGE 2 story GP cage. He has never had Hay nor Vit C treats(rose Hips), no hide and no toys . I think it was ignorance instead of malice on the familys behalf .
One thing that worries me is that he seems to be drinking ALOT more than I expected, the only thing I can figure is his old bottle was for a hampster and it was DISGUSTING with slime so maybe he drank the fresh water fast from that water bottle and he doesnt understand yet he has a fresh supply all the time now. I wash my bottles out everytime I refill which is at the most every other day. So I have Jasper the Giant GP.
