    I adopted two guinea pigs two months ago and I am having great time with them. I have had so many small pets all my life.
    But I believe there is one thing not mentioned here. You keep giving advice on how to “protect” guinea pigs from other animals but who will protect me from these two crazy girls!?
    Little joke, but just want to say I loved your article.
    These are such great pets that they really deserve to be protected from any dangers.
